Description

Several pottery vessels lie in a loose curved group on the floor of a tomb chamber. A jug with a spout-like handle and a rounder vessel with a handle sit near the front, with smaller vessels toward the back left and right. The earthen wall on the right rises above the floor and casts a dark shadow across the scene.
