A horizontally oriented sepia-toned albumen print depicts a ruined two-story palace with shattered pediments and crumbling columns against a hazy sky. In the foreground, dozens of human skulls and bones are scattered across a courtyard strewn with rubble. Four men with medium skin tones stand and sit in the middle ground near a white horse facing right. Harsh daylight illuminates the debris and vacant archways, capturing a stark, somber historical scene.
