Looking down into a rock-cut tomb chamber, a group of pottery vessels sits on the floor between low ledges. Skulls and long bones lie in a heap against the back wall at upper right, and a large jar and another vessel stand at the right edge. A small jug with a loop handle stands on the floor near the centre, and a bright patch of light falls on the left.
