Description

A narrow cutting dug into soil, with a sloping step or ledge at its base and several pale stones resting against the far end. Sunlight casts a long dark shadow of a figure or object across the left side, and a thin cord or rod runs diagonally across the lower right. The surrounding ground is loose, dry soil with patches of small plants.
