Description

Looking down into an excavated tomb, a rounded skull with dark openings sits at the upper left in loose soil. A pale spouted vessel stands on a lump of earth at top centre, and a shallow pale dish rests on a stone at right. Rows of rounded stones and rubble fill the lower part, with a cut earth face along the right edge.
