Description

Rows of large pale pottery jars with handles and pointed bases stand on bare earth in the foreground, with more jars set on the ground to the left. Several people in long robes and headcloths walk and stand among stalls, and a loaded animal is at the left edge. A crenellated city wall with an arched gateway rises in the background beside a canvas awning.
