Description

A large rounded oven built of mud or clay plaster stands in a yard, with a dark firing mouth at its base and a small rounded hearth block in front. A pile of loose stones lies to the left, and a round metal pan sits against the oven wall. Beyond it a doorway with a wooden plank door opens into a building with a stone wall and a small window above.
