This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a large, dome-shaped building. The structure has steps leading up to it and a few small figures near the entrance. The artist labeled parts like "Level of Ground Floor" and added notes about where coins were found. The drawing shows an old site called Ahin Posh Tope, which was dug up in 1879. The artist, William Simpson, made careful notes about what he saw during the excavation. If you like this kind of detailed drawing, look up cross-hatching next.
