Description

A tomb chamber excavated down to its floor, with an articulated skeleton lying in the dark soil at lower left, its long bones and ribs visible. Pottery vessels lie scattered across the floor: jugs and jars on the left, a bowl and a jar at right, and broken vessels against the cut rock wall at the back. Dressed stone blocks line the left edge of the cut.
