The photograph shows a large rounded rock the color of reddish sand sitting alone in the desert with a bright blue sky in the background. The front two-thirds of the rock was been craved into a flat surface with a door at the bottom to enter the tomb that would be inside. The door is only about one-tenth the size of the entire tomb. On both sides of the door are two rectangular columns. Above the columns are two protruding ledges with large flat spaces between them. On the top ledge on each side is what looks like stairs leading from the middle out to each edge.
