Description

A rough, pitted rock surface fills the upper and right part of the photograph, curving down to a sandy floor in the lower left. In the lower left corner a small pale vessel with a loop handle lies on the sand, casting a shadow. The image is a dim, grainy view of the tomb interior during excavation.
