This black-and-white photo shows a stone tomb built into a wall. A body lies on top, dressed in old-fashioned clothes, with a pillow under its head. Above the tomb is a tall window with three pointed arches, letting in light that makes the stone look soft. To the right, a wall lamp hangs on the wall. The tomb looks like it’s from a church, with carvings on the side that might show people or symbols. The light through the window makes the whole scene feel quiet and still. If you like this kind of old tomb, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
