Description

A cluster of flat-roofed stone and earth-walled houses rises up a steep slope, one building stepping above another. Large trees stand in the foreground and beside the houses, and a track winds up the hill past low terrace walls. Wooden planks lie stacked on the right, and wooded hills show in the distance.
