Description

A line of camels walks along a dirt track, each carrying a large bundle of branches and sticks lashed on top. A man sits on the load of the camel at the right, and a small group of people sits on a mound in the background. Behind them rise a bare, rocky hillside dotted with shrubs and small trees, under a cloudy sky.
