Description

Looking down into a narrow, deep cut in the earth that opens into a dark tomb entrance, with steep pale soil walls on either side. Grass and scrub cover the ground beyond the edges. At the top left, a person in trousers and shoes stands at the edge, cut off by the frame, and a white card or box sits at the lower right.
