Description

Flat-roofed houses with walls and a low arched gateway fill the middle ground of a town, with three domed roofs and a tall tower rising at the back. In the foreground a track runs past a cluster of prickly pear cactus, and a group of camels with loads and several figures walks along it on the left. Another camel stands further back near the houses.
