Description

A low hill rises above open grassland, its face eroded and broken by many dark rectangular and arched openings, apparently tomb entrances cut into the slope. A dirt track runs across the foreground below the hill, and small figures stand on the slope at the left and near the right edge.

Description, scan 2: The eroded face of a low hill rises across the middle of the view, pitted with several dark openings cut into the slope near its top. A dirt path crosses the grassy ground in the foreground, and one small figure stands at the left edge beside the hill. Open flat land and a blank sky fill the rest of the frame.
