Description

Looking down into the tomb chamber, a skeleton lies in the pale soil with long leg and arm bones visible. Skulls are visible at the upper right and at the right edge, with loose bones scattered across the floor. A round vessel sits against the dark chamber wall at the left, and the rock wall rises at the top right.
