IGN91

The tomb IGN91 belongs to the category of Proto Hegra type II tombs. The upper section features two half-crowsteps on a plain background, supported by an Egyptian entablature composed of a cornice and a plain frieze, culminating in a plain architrave crowned with a projecting bevel. This is supported by two single-register Nabatean Corinthian capitals as part of the angular pilasters, which remain unfinished. A slightly projecting anepigraphic cartouche is located between the capitals

Due to the configuration of the massif, there is no internal burial chamber, and the facade remains incomplete. The left cleaning trench displays deep, rounded notches made by stonecutters during construction.
