Description

Looking down into a tomb during excavation, long bones lie across the sandy floor beside several pottery vessels. A wide bowl, a handled jug and a round-bodied jar stand in the foreground, while more vessels and broken pieces sit in the soil behind them. The cut wall of the pit rises along the right edge.
