Description

A rounded niche in a pale, crumbly rock wall is closed by a flat stone slab, with a smaller slab resting on its upper right edge. A dark gap shows above the slabs, and the ground below is pale, with scattered small stones and soil. A blurred shadow, probably of the photographer or camera, falls across the lower left of the frame.
