Description, scan 2
A series of stepped tiers runs across the whole frame, each a rough, weathered band of pale material with uneven, eroded surfaces. Two small blocks of paler stone sit in a recess in the middle tier, near the centre. The lowest tier and the ground in the foreground are lighter and flatter.
