A close overhead photograph of a grey, weathered stone or clay vessel resting on a sandy stone surface. The rounded bowl-shaped object has a flat top carved with an eight-petalled lotus rosette around a central circle, and its sides are incised with radiating vertical grooves and short tick-marked lines. Strong sunlight casts shadows across the surface. No people are visible.

The lower square plinth is plain and the bulbous top is carved with lobed petal panels outlined in light grey, with radiating lines on the upper rim. No people are visible.

Close-up photograph of a polished black stone pedestal with a round flat top marked by a small red mark, set on a square base and carved with scroll and lotus-petal motifs. Partial bare feet and white-clad legs of standing people appear at the top edge, and the ground is sandy. No one's face is visible, so no a person candidate is identifiable.
