The IGN104 tomb is part of the Sanie necropolis and is situated in Sector II on the north side of the massif, between tombs IGN103 and IGN105. The tomb lacks a decorated facade and is carved into the rock at a level higher than the ground, accessible via natural horizontal stratifications of the rock. The entrance, comparable in size and shape to neighboring tombs IGN103 and IGN105, shows erosion damage on the left side.
