The two hornos can be seen in the foreground on the right side of the frame. The oven on the right is large while the one on the left is very small. The larger oven has three sticks sticking out of it. The church can be seen in the background on the left side of the frame. The church is three stories tall, has a pointed roof, a large light-colored cross on the roof's point, and two steeples on either side of the roof's point.
