Description

A trench with a steep cut face of packed stones and soil fills most of the frame. A person in a long striped garment and boots stands at the right edge, and a second person is partly visible at top left beside a heap of excavated earth. A shovel handle shows at the top right, and a curved stone lies in the hollow in the lower right of the cut.
