Description

A man in a light open-necked shirt, shorts, dark socks and a pale pith helmet stands in an excavated area, holding a long pole upright in one hand and resting the other hand at his hip. Behind him rise stone and mud-brick walls, and the flat ground beyond has houses and trees on the horizon. A dark wooden box sits at lower left among rough stone blocks.
