Description

Seen from a high angle, a large crowd of people in long pale hooded garments walks across a dusty open ground, with several men in dark clothing and caps among them. Hand carts loaded with sacks are at the upper left, and one man pushes a cart. Thick ropes hang diagonally down the left side of the frame.
