Tall grey columns stand in the foreground and middle ground of the ruins. Red straps bind the base of the left column. A mosaic floor with geometric patterns lies between the columns. Behind them, a brick and stone wall with a curved, vaulted element rises against dark trees. A column drum and scattered stone blocks sit at the lower right. No people are visible.
