Donkey For Sale

The story of the middle-eastern man selling a donkey is a bit more open ended as far as what is trying to be portrayed. Is this the donkey that was purchased for Christ to ride on as his triumphal entrance on Palm Sunday or is it the donkey and will carry Mary, the mother of Christ, on their arduous journey to Jerusalem? The viewer can decide.

A middle-eastern man is walking with a donkey and is centered in frame. They are walking on the path or road and there are several palm trees behind them. This is taking place during and early dusk. The man has a mustache and is wearing a cream colored robe and the donkey is gray and is all saddled up.
