Description, scan 2: A large pale earthen mound rises under a cloudy sky, its crest broken into steep banks with dark hollows at the base. Bushes and low scrub cover the lower slopes and stony ground in the foreground. About eight people in light clothing sit in small groups along the top, and low buildings show at the far left and right.
