Large rough-hewn stone blocks and a heavy masonry mass rise on the left and centre, with a long slab laid across a dark opening on the right. Flat paving slabs run across the foreground and into the recess beyond. Earth banks and broken stone surfaces frame the excavated area.

- Close view of excavated masonry at the Vouni palace: large rough-cut stone blocks stand in stepped tiers on the left and centre. A dark opening lies to the right beneath a thin timber beam, and flat stone slabs form a floor in the foreground, partly cleared of soil. The crumbling pale rock face fills the background.
