Description

A large rounded vessel lies on its side in loose sandy soil, its dark surface cracked and partly covered with a dark painted pattern of circles and stylised motifs. A flat, encrusted metal object stands up beside it, and a second ribbed, rounded vessel with a small loop handle lies to the right. No tomb walls are clearly visible; the objects are seen close up in the ground.
