Description

Walls of rough stone and rectangular mud-brick rise across the frame, with a small excavated room in the centre whose floor is bare earth. Loose stones and rubble lie along the foreground and in the gaps between walls. Two tiny dark figures may stand on the top of the far walls, and an open sky fills the upper background.
