A steep rocky path winds up the left side toward a stone wall with a small structure, and a row of low long buildings stretches across the midground along the slope. In the foreground several pitched roofs and stone facades form a dense arrangement, with a few indistinct human figures near the buildings and someone on a roof. The landscape behind the settlement is a barren, gently sloping expanse with scattered rocks, and the sky above is pale and largely empty.
