Tomb 2 at Amathus, dromos before opening

Description

A deep rectangular cutting in pale earth leads up to the entrance of a tomb, where a wall of squared stone blocks rises above a dark doorway. In the doorway a large stone slab with a curved notch at its upper edge partly fills the opening. Scattered stones lie on the floor of the cut, and trees and bare ground stretch across the background under a pale sky.

Description, scan 2: A deep rectangular cutting with steep earth sides runs back to a wall of large squared stone blocks, with a tall upright slab with a rounded notch set in front of it near the floor. Smaller stone blocks lie at the base of the slab, and the floor of the cutting is loose soil with scattered stones. Trees stand in open ground beyond the edge of the cutting under a pale sky.
