Description

The interior of a rock-cut tomb with a rough, tool-marked wall behind. In the centre a skeleton lies with its ribs and spine visible, beside a handled vessel with a rounded body and a small vessel nearby. Further skulls and bones lie in the soil at the upper right, and the floor is uneven broken earth with stones.
