IGN73

Tomb IGN73, belonging to the type with one row of crowsteps, is located in sector II of the Khuraymat necropolis. The tomb faces south, and more than half of its carved surface has been lost due to a collapse, exposing the internal chamber. The remaining facade features a row of crowsteps, a false architrave, and an architrave with a dense Nabataean inscription. The left capital is of a simple pseudo-Doric order. The counter-façade has completely collapsed, but the remaining walls are regular, with a square layout.
