People in various states of undress fill an open air room. Many are lying on the ground or piled up, while some stand. A few people in military dress address some of those standing. The far wall of the room is composed of open archways held up by columns, and past that ramparts can be seen extending from the building. Beyond the ramparts there is a tower, and past the tower in the far distance is a golden city.
