Description

A deep vertical face of dark, layered soil with scattered small stones fills most of the frame, with larger pale stones at the bottom. At the top edge, the legs and boots of two people stand beside a wooden tool handle lying on the ground. Beyond the cut, a spoil heap rises, with a dark rectangular box or tray and a small plant on it.
