Description

A large, irregular limestone block fills the right side of the frame, its rough surface pitted and weathered. Behind it a dark opening leads into a cavity cut into rock, and at the left a rock face frames the view. On the sandy floor in front are several smaller rounded stones and scattered pebbles.
