IGN61

Tomb IGN61 is located on the western flank of the smaller massif in sector II of the Khuraymat necropolis, facing west. The tomb is in a very fragmentary condition, making it challenging to fully understand its situation. It was likely intended to have a decorated facade, possibly of the half-crowsteps or Proto-Hegra type, but the work was probably interrupted halfway through the facade’s construction.
