Description

A woman in a headscarf and long dress stands at the left edge holding a long-handled tool, and a second figure in dark clothing stands further back near a shovel. In the centre a cut descends in steps to a dark opening under an overhanging bank of earth. Two buckets sit on the upper ground, and loose soil and debris lie at the right.
