Description: An old man stands on a hilltop. He wears a fringed garment draped around his body and over one shoulder. His hair is spiked down the middle of his head from forehead to nape of neck, where it is gathered into a knot. On his feet are slippers. Behind him on the ground below the hill, cultivated fields surround a village – a small group of dwellings with a fence around them.
