Description

An older man in a white robe and head cloth stands holding a long pole, beside three young men and three women in headscarves. The young men sit and lie on a heap of broken stones in front, and one woman holds a shovel beside a wheelbarrow. Behind them a cut face of earth shows layers, with walls of a ruin above and a flat plain with buildings and trees in the distance.
