Description

A deep excavation cutting with a vertical face of layered, stony soil running across the background and along the right side. In the foreground a large rectangular block of pale stone sits on top of a darker, rough-surfaced soil or masonry mass, with a thin cord or line stretched diagonally across the upper part of the section. No people are shown; the upper ground is scattered with loose stones and small rubble.
