Description

A wooden ladder with pale rungs stands against the rock wall of a shaft, its lower end disappearing into a dark pit. Below the ladder, a flat grey slab lies in the pit, and a pale hose runs across the lower foreground at the edge of the shaft. The rock walls are pale and crumbly, with rough patches of soil.
