Description

Six people stand in a row in front of a rough stone wall and scrub on a hillside. The two men on the left wear a straw boat hat and a lighter hat, and the first holds a long wooden pole. The four women wear long skirts, aprons and dark headscarves, and a wooden crate and a pile of flat stones lie at the lower left.
