Tomb 10 at Amathus, with cover stones
Description
Looking down into an excavation cutting, several large rectangular cover slabs lie across the top of a tomb in sandy, eroded earth. Some slabs have tilted or slipped, leaving a dark gap between them on the right, and rough soil walls rise on either side.

- Large pale cover stones lie on sandy, excavated ground above the dark opening of Tomb 10 at Amathus. Smaller slabs and rubble are piled behind them against a dark rock face on the right, and strong sunlight throws deep shadows across the scene. No people or equipment are visible.
