Section 7.5cm tall cut horizontally across lower edge.  Rough ground leads to an alley giving access to the town between almost windowless vernacular architecture.  Crowds of people entering town laden with baskets, watched by a shepherd left and his sheep.  Generally brownish hues except for sky and a few tiny highlights of red or pink on clothing.
