Description

Looking across a dirt courtyard, a tall stone block with shuttered windows and a flat roof stands on the right, with an arched doorway at its base. Low stone walls with reed or thatch coverings and climbing plants border the open ground in the foreground, and a long wall runs along the left. No people are visible.
