Description

A view from above into a rock-cut tomb, its soft layered soil walls curving around a dark hollow. On the floor lie several pottery vessels: a rounded jar and a small jug at right, and a group of jars and bowls at bottom centre, some upright and some on their sides. A pale rounded object with dark hollows at left may be a skull, and loose stones lie among the finds.
