Description

Looking into a rock-cut tomb chamber through its opening, with rough, pale rock surfaces around the entrance. A small pale vessel with two handles and a narrow base sits on the floor in the foreground, and another vessel is partly visible behind it to the right. The chamber is dark and the right side of the photograph is strongly washed out.
