Bathing in the cistern at Machairas
Description
Four people bathe in a stone-lined cistern set into a slope, with a pale cloth draped over the near wall. A boy in a cap, light shirt and shorts stands barefoot on the bank at left, and shoes lie on the ground beside him. Rocks and scrubby vegetation rise behind, and a stone wall edges the cistern on the right.

- Several people are bathing in a shallow stone-lined cistern cut into a slope of rocks and scrub. A boy in a light shirt and shorts stands on the bank at left, looking toward the water, and a smiling boy and several men are chest-deep in the water. Towels hang over the stone edge, and a dark rock wall rises on the right.
