- Looking down into an excavated area with exposed rubble stone walls. Two men stand at the left and centre, one holding a pick or hoe, with a woman in a headscarf in front of them, and a woman peers out from a wheelbarrow at the bottom right. About a dozen more figures dig and stand among spoil heaps along the upper edge of the trench.
