Description

A mud-brick house with a flat roof has an upper window opening onto a small ledge, where three men stand in the doorway. A flight of stone steps runs up the wall to this ledge. In the dusty yard below are a dark arched doorway, a frame of poles hung with cloth, large jars, a low table and stacked wicker baskets.
