Description

A hollow cut into pale, crumbly soil opens across the middle of the frame, with a dark recess behind it. Two round vessels, one larger than the other, sit inside the hollow, and a vessel with a curved edge is partly uncovered at the right. Dry grass and plant stems grow on the ground at the top right, and a small pale object lies near the right-hand vessel.
