Description

The photograph looks down through an irregular opening in the rock into a tomb chamber. Flat stone slabs and a raised stone bench or platform cross the floor, and several vessels lie among them: a long-necked jug at upper centre, a rounded vessel at upper left, and a round-bodied vessel with a handle at lower right. No people are present.
