Description

Two large, roughly rounded limestone blocks dominate the foreground, with a smaller block wedged between them and a third behind. The surrounding ground is pale, dusty soil with excavated edges and loose rubble. Strong shadows fall to the lower right, and a small orange-yellow mark is visible on the right edge, likely a marker or stain.
