Description

Three broad, worn stone steps rise diagonally to the right between tall rough-hewn masonry walls. Behind them, further walls and scattered stone blocks stand against a pale sky, and a large fallen block lies on the upper right. The ground in the foreground is bare, sandy soil, suggesting an excavated area.
