Description

A deep rectangular cutting with vertical earthen sides shows a pile of rounded stones at the bottom, with a larger stone at the centre and a cylindrical object lying among them. A small jug or juglet with a narrow neck and handle sits in the upper part of the left-hand wall. The ground around the cutting is sandy with scattered grass tufts, and the photograph is taken from above the cutting edge.
