Description

A black rectangular shaft opens into pale excavated soil, with its cut edges and rounded corners clearly visible. A heap of small pale stones lies at the upper right, and a larger dark stone sits inside the opening. No people or tools are visible; the view looks straight down into the tomb chamber.
