Description
Photograph of a group of people congregating around a cross at a funeral in the desert, [s.d.]. Two men can be seen standing behind a wooden cross with a circular wreath attached to it, while five men can be seen kneeling around it. Two women wearing long coats can be seen sitting in the sand in front of the cross. The entire group of people is looking upwards at the cross, while a few other people and what appears to be a piano can be seen in the background. Sand dunes are visible in the distance.
