One of the Decorated Tombs


Most of the graves were simple walled affairs, perhaps a stone marker, or maybe just piled earth or rocks within. Some were buildings with roofs, perhaps with a dome or a peak, appearing like a little mosque.
These tombs, for the most part, were plain inside. Bare bricks, or a plain plaster render. We found four, though, that had interesting paintings on the walls. Pictures which, in some way, reflect the personality or wishes of the person now entombed within.
