A dim, empty interior hall with a dark wooden roof and a row of tall, dark wooden columns with carved bases receding into the distance. The floor is tiled in red, orange and blue-grey tiles that reflect light. Plain white walls and small barred windows line the sides, with daylight glowing at the far end. No people, deities or ritual activity are visible.
