Old Mezirme on its slope (MZ.2026.6.3)

Translated from the Turkish original.

MZ.2026.6.3

A colour photograph: above autumn-coloured gardens and poplars, flat-roofed stone houses are arranged step by step up a slope; behind them bare, scrubby mountains with a rocky peak at the top.
Appears in Zeynep Oktay's piece on Yusuf Ağa Dede, which describes the old settlement: “Evler yamaçta bir merdivenin basamakları gibi sıralanmış.” (The houses were lined up on the slope like the steps of a staircase.)
