The Silk Tomb, or streaked tomb, named for the rich colors of its facade resembling an iridescent piece of silk draped on the rock, is one of the Royal Tombs renowned for its striking façade, characterized by swirls of differently colored rock and adorned with horizontal stripes of red, pink, white, brown, black, yellow, and orange. The width of the façade spans 10.8 meters, and its height reaches 19 meters. The monument is probably dated to the first half of the 1st century AD. Immediately on either side of the façade, there are chambers. Within the façade itself, the loculus is carved high up, flanked by two pilasters on each side of the rock face. These loculi were usually used to hold deceased individuals in ancient Nabataean times. The pilasters served as decorative elements to enhance the overall appearance of the façade.
