Description

A steep trench cut into pale soil leads down to an arched tomb entrance, its opening filled with stacked stone blocks. Below, a rounded excavated area of darker earth and loose stones lies in the foreground. A wooden ladder leans in at the upper right, and a few blurred figures of workers stand or crouch at the top edge beside spoil heaps.
