Description

A vertical face of dark excavated soil with pale flecks and stones fills the background of a narrow trench. In the centre, a stone pillar made of stacked square blocks with stepped courses stands on the trench floor, and a large rough-cut stone block sits to its right. A wooden board leans at the top right edge of the frame.
