Just to the left of the Urn Tomb is a small tomb known as the Silk Tomb. This name comes from the rich color of the sandstone. It is one of the most dramatically colored tombs in Petra. The striations of natural color in the Silk Tomb's rock make it one of Petra's finest and certainly the easiest to spot. The ribbons of rock flow across the facade like a multicolored silk scarf blowing in the wind.
