What the image shows
This is an engraved print of a landscape, shown as a horizontal plate with a plain paper margin and a caption below the image. A steep, flat-topped mountain rises on the right above a broad grassy plain, with a smaller rocky outcrop at the left edge. Small figures, possibly people with animals, stand in the plain near the centre, and spiky agave-like plants and shrubs occupy the foreground. The caption beneath reads "Coffer of Perotte" and includes a small line of publisher's imprint text that is too small to read clearly.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
