Description

A floor mosaic of pale tesserae covers much of the ground, set in a geometric pattern of bands and angular panels. Grass, low shrubs and weeds grow across the mosaic and the bare soil around it. Dense bushes and trees fill the background along the top and right side of the view. No people are visible.
