IGN82

Tomb IGN82 is located at the beginning of an inlet formed by the rock in sector III of the Khuraymat necropolis. The facade faces south and was not completed due to an alteration of the stone in the lower area, which made the surface fragile. The facade belongs to the Proto-Hegra Type 1 tomb category, featuring the typical upper crowning of two half-crowsteps and an Egyptian entablature.
