The man at right holds a silver plate and ladle, and another man behind the flame pours from a brass vessel. A small brass bowl sits in the foreground on flower-strewn cloth. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures are presented as priests performing fire ritual.2010-10-16October 15 20132013-10-15Close photo of a ritual fire being lit in a dark stone mortar-like vessel on a patterned cloth.
