Description

Looking into the tomb chamber, a rough, dark earthen wall curves upward and back. Long bones and a jumbled skeleton lie across the floor in the foreground, and a cluster of pale bones sits against the middle of the far wall. A pale block of excavated soil fills the right edge of the frame.
