Description

Looking along a dusty open ground surface toward a low stone wall at the upper left. Below and beside it, rough stone steps or ledges step down across the rocky slope, and a line of wooden posts with wire fence runs along the right side. Sparse scrubby plants grow at the edges under a hazy sky.

Description, scan 2
Rough-cut stone blocks and rubble form a low rocky wall along the left side, with a higher wall section at the top left. A few worn stone steps rise in the middle of the slope, and wooden fence posts with strung wire run across the right background. The open, dusty ground in the foreground is bare, with scattered small stones.
