IGN137

Tomb IGN137 is an undecorated burial chamber located in the Sulaymiyya necropolis on a small, eroded massif. The facade faces south and is significantly eroded, making it impossible to determine if it had any decoration originally. The entrance is quadrangular, matching the width of the tomb and providing a direct view of the interior.
