Description

Several clay vessels lie on the floor of the excavated tomb against a rough earth and rock wall. They include a tall jug with a cylindrical neck, a two-handled jar, a lidded jar at the top, and a long-necked vessel with two loop handles at the centre. A squat vessel on the right has its upper part broken away, with soil inside, and a shallow dish lies beside it.
