Description

Several vessels lie on the floor of a tomb chamber among packed soil. A round jar with a pale patch stands at the top of the frame, with a small bowl-like vessel in front of it and a broad rounded vessel to the right. Long dark bones of a skeleton run diagonally across the centre, and a pale card lies at the upper right edge.
