Tomb at Stylli, door packing (negative)

Tomb at Stylli with door packing: a large flat stone set into an excavated cut in the earth. — Photograph: John Lindros, Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1930. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C03553. Public domain (CC0).

Description

A deep excavated cutting with steep earth walls, lit from above so the sides look pale and the floor dark. A large flat, pale stone sits in a recess in the far wall, possibly the packing at a tomb entrance. The shadow of a tripod-like frame falls across the left side, and the floor is uneven loose soil.

Description, scan 2: A narrow, sloping cutting runs away from the viewer between walls of pale and dark soil. A large flat slab of pale stone lies in a recess in the soil face at the far end, apparently packed into an opening. A thin upright stand with a flat top casts a long shadow across the left-hand wall.
