Description

Two fluted column drums stand upright in the foreground, one at left and one partly cut off at the bottom right. A large cut stone block to the right holds a stone mortar and pestle. Behind them a massive rough masonry wall rises, with fragments of pottery and a broken architectural piece on its top, and bushes against the sky.
