Description

Looking into the excavated Tomb 20 at Marion, a dark chamber is cut into the earth, with a standing block of soil in the centre. A few pottery vessels lie on the floor: a large vessel in the middle, a small jug at the left and others partly hidden in the shadow at the right. A pale tag is stuck into the earth above the soil block, and loose soil lies in the foreground.
