A young leafy tree stands staked upright with several tall bamboo or wooden poles tied to its trunk and branches, set in a bare dirt yard. Behind it are grey concrete block walls, a small heap of red bricks and rubble at right, a pile of sand and gravel at left, and a palm tree beyond the wall under a pale overcast sky. A small bald head of a statue or bust is partly visible at the lower left near the base of the tree. No people are visible.
