Description

A figure in a white robe and head cloth leans against a stone wall on the left, holding a long stick, while a second person in a white garment stands beside a rounded clay oven. To the right, a dome of rough stones rises from the dusty ground, and smoke drifts across the background past walls and trees.

Description, scan 2
Two people stand on bare, dry ground beside a rounded oven of plastered clay, one holding a long stick. A mud-brick wall stands at the left, and a larger dome of fitted stones rises on the right. Smoke drifts through the hazy background, where trees and further walls are faintly visible.
