Description

Looking down a stepped dromos cut into the earth toward the dark entrance of Tomb 16 at Marion. Inside the chamber, a jug-like vessel stands against the right wall and a round vessel lies beside it, with a squarish object in the middle. A large round boulder sits at the left edge, and sparse scrub grows along the edges of the cutting.
