Description

Close view into a tomb where skeletal remains lie partly embedded in dark soil. Two rounded skulls are visible, one at the centre and one to the right, with a row of ribs between them and a long bone running across the lower left. The bones are pale against the dark earth, and the surrounding soil is rough and uneven.
