The verb "menunjukkan" is used to indicate the act of showing something. The word "sebuah" is a classifier used for objects, specifying one item. Adjectives like "antik" (antique) and "berumput" (grassy) follow the nouns they describe. Prepositions like "di" and "dengan" are used to indicate location and association, respectively. The phrase "di atasnya" combines the preposition "di" with "atas" (above) and the possessive suffix "-nya" to indicate location relative to another object.
