Description

A man in light work clothes and a cap stands at the edge of an excavation, with a metal bucket at his feet. In front of him a narrow sloping cut runs down into the earth to a dark opening, the tomb chamber entrance. Olive trees and a low stone wall fill the background, and rock edges show along the bottom of the frame.
