Description

Several pottery vessels lie scattered on the packed earth floor of the tomb chamber. In the centre a jug with a broken, open neck stands near a large open bowl at the right edge. Other jugs, a small bowl and rounded vessels, some with handles, lie around them, and a cluster of jars sits against the soil at the left edge.
