Description

A dark rectangular opening is cut into pale, crumbly soil, and the photograph looks through it into the tomb chamber. On the right-hand side, a small cluster of objects, possibly vessels, lies in the ground against the chamber wall. The floor of the chamber is in shadow and no bone shapes can be clearly made out.
