Description

An older woman in a dark headscarf and a dark, long-sleeved dress stands outdoors and smiles at the camera. She holds a large, dark-decorated pottery vessel with a wide rim against her body, with a white cloth at her waist. Pale stone walls and ruined buildings stand in the bright background.
