Description

A large ruined structure of stone, with rows of arched openings and broken upper walls, dominates the background. In front, low flat-roofed houses and walls of rubble and mud-brick line a dusty open ground. A donkey stands at the lower left, two animals are near the bottom centre, and about a dozen people walk along a street on the right.
