A man stands in a dusty, barren landscape near a brick kiln that is emitting black smoke. He wears a long, light-green robe and a white head covering. In one hand, he holds a long metal tool attached to a flat, dome-shaped object above a fire burning in a hole in the ground. The other hand holds a small metal scoop. Several similar dome-covered fires are burning nearby. A stack of bricks sits to the left, and a brick structure is visible to the right. A metal kettle sits on the ground next to the brick structure. Piles of bricks are visible in the distance.
