Description

A black, dark opening of a tomb chamber is framed by pale, cut earth and rock walls, with a sloping passage leading down to it from the right. Inside the dark chamber a pale stone or slab lies on a lower ledge, partly lit, and a few other stones are faintly visible. No people or finds are clearly identifiable.
