The scene depicts an outdoor cooking area in Debetavan, Armenia. A rectangular metal brazier (manghal) is centrally positioned, containing a bed of glowing charcoal embers and grey ash. Five metal skewers are arranged horizontally across the top of the brazier, each laden with irregularly cut pieces of meat, exhibiting varying degrees of browning and cooking. Dense white smoke actively emanates from the meat and coals, rising vertically and horizontally across the frame. To the left, a wall constructed from irregularly shaped light-colored stone blocks is visible. In the upper right background, a corrugated metal fence or wall is partially visible through the smoke. The ground surrounding the brazier consists of dirt or gravel. A partial view of a wooden leg, possibly from a stool or small table, is present on the far right edge of the frame. No individuals are depicted.
