This is one of the graves (grave 12) that were located in the area of Orthi Petra in Crete. The grave consists of a funerary pithos positioned horizontally and a construction around it that forms a pseudotholos. The mouth was sealed with a slender plaque and was placed facing east. The pithos containing the bones the deceased, measures 0,35 m in diameter and 0,40 m in height. Graves of this type were built after the burial around and on top of the pithos with packed stones, and not before as one would expect. Considering that the particular grave is a typical example of its kind, and because the surrounding wall was so well constructed, the grave was removed and transferred to the museum without altering its original arrangement.
