Description

A narrow, deep rectangular cut in pale brown soil opens in the middle of the frame, with a rounded ledge along its base. The walls of the cavity are dark and crumbly, and a pale patch near the middle may be a stone or a reflection. The earth around it is light and loose on the right and more textured on the left.
