A weathered, whitewashed stone shrine structure with a domed top and tiered cornices stands in an overgrown courtyard. Its front face has a row of four small rectangular openings. Behind it are green trees, a climbing vine on a low wall, a red-washed wall to the left and a yellow wall to the right, with a blue cable running across the scene. No people are visible. The shrine appears to be an old monument or small temple structure.
