In front of the cuboid is an ornate small building with a dome and a narrow staircase leading up to a covered platform, and an arched gateway with decorative patterns. To the left a multi-story building with a rooftop pavilion and balcony shows groups of people standing and leaning on railings. Behind the cuboid a long colonnaded arcade with repeated arches stretches horizontally, topped by a row of peaked white tents. Beyond the arcade a stepped cluster of buildings and a tall slender tower with a pointed top rise against a hazy sky, with a rocky hillside and additional structures visible in the distance. The image has a sepia tone and shows wear like spots and faded areas.
