A human hand, blurred and positioned in the foreground, holds a silver-colored ring vertically between the index finger and thumb. The background, in sharp focus, reveals the ancient, weathered ruins of El Badi Palace, located in Al Machouar – Stinia, Morocco. The predominant structure is a thick, light brown wall made of layered mudbrick or rammed earth, exhibiting numerous small, dark, circular holes and larger square recesses. A prominent, irregular arch-shaped opening in the upper section of the wall reveals a clear, pale blue sky beyond. To the right, a textured column-like section of the ruin stands vertically. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
