Description

Two men stand with two dark donkeys at a stone-strewn site. The donkeys carry wooden packsaddles loaded with stones, and the man on the left wears a hat and white shirt and looks toward the camera. Beside them a heap of rough stones lies against a low ruined wall, with a flat paved area in the foreground and a hazy open view behind.
