Description

About fifteen people, mostly women in dark headscarves, white blouses and striped skirts, stand close together at the doorway of a low stone building with a tiled roof. Several men stand at the left, one wearing a striped shawl and another a hat with a bag over his shoulder. A figure is visible inside the open wooden door, and sandy ground with low scrub lies in the foreground.
