It was described as "the first spiritual temple," view of the wood frame of a building surrounded with mostly adults gathered to celebrate laying the first foundation stone of the building. A woman stands beside the building holds a trowel in hand after the symbolic ceremony. A few children sit above the rest, in the building. In good condition despite the moderate darkening, an inscription at the bottom and minor abrasions along bottom edges.
