A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts a group with medium skin tones gathered before massive stone columns. Left, a woman balances a jar on her head near two children. Centrally, a man in a beige robe sits holding a long pipe. Other cloaked figures sit to the right near a fallen stone carved with hieroglyphs. In the background, a lone palm tree punctuates a sandy landscape beneath a pale sky.
