Description

A man in a pale pith helmet and striped shirt leans over a mud-brick wall, cutting into its top with a saw held in both hands. The brick is pale and eroded, and behind him stone rubble and ruined walls fill the excavation. Dark stone footings run along the base of the brick wall beneath him.
