Description

A narrow lane runs between dry-stone walls past stone-built houses with roofs of brushwood or thatch. Flat stone slabs form steps on the left, and a large round-bodied jar sits on top of a low wall in the centre. Trees and bare hills rise behind the rooftops under a mostly clear sky.

Description, scan 2
A narrow village lane runs between rough dry-stone walls and low houses with flat roofs covered in brush. On the left a flight of uneven stone steps climbs past a recessed doorway, and a large clay jar sits on top of a wall in the middle distance. Bare hills and a few trees rise behind the houses.
