A vertically oriented color lithograph in muted tan and cream depicts a desert landscape of crumbling architecture. A towering minaret with ornate balconies and a weathered base dominates the center. To its right, a mosque with a ribbed dome stands beside a second minaret and a spindly palm tree. Tiny figures rest on the sand nearby. In the far distance to the left, geometric silhouettes of pyramids rise against a hazy, pale sky.
