Description

Several people push long wooden poles that turn a large upright stone wheel running in a round stone trough. Two women in headscarves lean on one pole on the left, while a woman in a striped skirt and a man in a dark jacket push from the right. Behind them stand a rubble stone wall with a wooden door, a flat-roofed building, and scrubby trees on the hillside above.

Description, scan 2
Several people, mostly women in headscarves and a man in dark trousers, push and pull wooden beams fixed to a large stone wheel that turns in a round stone basin. Behind them stands a long rubble-stone wall with a wooden doorway at the right, and a hillside covered with bushes and trees rises above the roofs. The ground in the foreground is bare and stony.
