Description

A deep, narrow excavated cut runs down the middle of the frame, with a rounded mass and pale elongated shapes near the bottom that may be bones. Two people in headscarves sit at the upper left beside a small object, and a man in a dark jersey and shorts stands at the far edge holding a long pole.
