Description

A paved courtyard is lined with arcades of rounded arches on columns, and a tall square brick tower rises at the centre, topped by a small domed lantern with arched openings. At the lower right, several people sit and stand beside a low raised platform, and a small enclosed structure stands near the right edge. The sky above is pale and open.
