Description

A stepped passage cut down into the earth leads to a dark opening in the cut face of the tomb at Marion. Several steps with worn edges descend between high vertical banks of soil. At the top left, a person in a light smock bends over near a basket on the ground, and a dark object lies at the right edge.
