Description

The photograph shows the interior of a rock-cut chamber with a rounded, uneven ceiling and rough rock walls. Stone-cut benches line the back and left side, and a rectangular sunken area with raised edges lies in the floor in the foreground. The pale, dusty surfaces contrast with the shadowed right side of the chamber.
