Small fragments of similar material are scattered on the ground immediately adjacent to the basin's lower right edge. The ground consists of fine granular particles, small pebbles, and sparse patches of light green grass, particularly in the upper half of the frame. Dried leaves and small organic debris are visible within the grassy areas. A dark, irregular object, possibly a stone or scat, is present on the ground in the upper center.
