Description

Pale stone seating rows curve across the upper half of the view, with a group of about fourteen men standing together on the upper tier and one man pointing with his arm outstretched. A single figure stands alone on the far right, and a lone figure stands at the left edge. Below, a massive wall of rough-cut blocks has small square openings, and the sky is clear blue.
