Description

A stone-built oven stands in the corner of a room, its dark rounded opening set into a low wall of rough stone and mud. Thin tree trunks and bundles of brushwood lean against the wall, and a plank door with a wooden frame is at left. A large jar is partly visible at the right edge, and what looks like an animal skull is fixed high on the wall at upper left.

A built stone oven with a dark, dome-shaped opening stands against a rough stone wall, its upper part coated in clay. Wooden poles and dry branches lean against the wall and over the oven top, and a wooden door is at the left edge. A large rounded vessel is partly visible at the right, and a log lies on the stone floor in front of the oven.
