Outdoor construction site with reddish-brown earth. In the foreground, rows of grey carved stone pieces are laid out on the ground, including flat-based ornamental stone blocks, rounded carved slabs and small decorative stone components.

No people are clearly visible beyond a small figure at the top right.
