Description

A partly uncovered skeleton lies in soil within the chamber of Tomb 11, with ribs and long bones visible among stones and earth. In the foreground a rough, layered face of earth forms the edge of the excavation, and the dark background suggests the chamber's interior. The pale bones stand out against the grey soil, and many remain embedded in the ground.
