Description

A ruined stone building rises in the background, with a large arched opening in its lower centre and a smaller window above. A reed or branch covering stretches across a wooden pole frame in front of the arch. In the foreground, low walls of roughly dressed stones enclose a dusty, open ground with scattered plants and a small potted shrub.
