Description

A paved stone courtyard lies between two stone walls, with a row of large jars or jugs standing on a low stone ledge at the left. Several people stand in the shadowed arched opening at the back, and a slender tower with a pointed roof rises above the buildings. Potted plants and a small stool are scattered across the paving.

Description, scan 2
A stone-paved courtyard runs toward a tall arched opening in a rough stone wall. Several large jars stand on a stone ledge at the left, and a slender tower with a pointed top rises behind the wall. Four people, including a woman holding a small child, stand in the dark archway and look toward the camera, with potted plants along the right side.
