Description

A view inside a tomb chamber with rough, uneven rock walls rising to an irregular ceiling. A recessed opening sits in the back wall to the left of centre, and the floor is dark and uneven, covered with loose soil and debris. Strong light from the upper right throws deep shadows across the rock surfaces.
