Description

Several pottery vessels lie in a hollow cut into the soil wall of the tomb, on an earth floor. In the centre is a round-bodied vessel with a broken, open mouth and side handles; to its right stands a small jug with a handle and dark contents in its mouth, and to the left a shallow bowl. Further fragments lie behind them under the curved earth ceiling.
