Description

Two tall column drums stand on a stone base in the left foreground, beside a large broken stone basin. A standing column and fallen blocks lie across the paved area on the right. A man in a dark suit walks down a flight of steps at the left edge. Low walls, scattered stones and shrubs spread across the hillside under a bright sky.
