Description

A round, shallow clay dish rests at the left end of a rough wooden bench, with an arm in a light sleeve reaching in from the left edge. Beside it on the right sits a curved, lumpy clay windbreak with a small hole in its side. Behind them, houses with mud-brick walls and tiled roofs and a stone wall with a wooden door stand on bare, stony ground.
