Large gold beaded necklaces with black enamel bands dominate, alongside gold crown-like ornaments and a gold pendant. Several oval medallions framed in gold filigree hold small painted portraits of smiling figures set on blue backgrounds. No people are visible; the portraits are printed or painted images on jewellery.2010-08-03Close-up photograph of a bare foot and lower leg resting on red and patterned cloth, with a braided rope and gold-bordered fabric nearby. A brown leather ankle band studded with many brass bells, shaped like small pointed cones, is strapped around the ankle. The toenails are painted orange-red. No faces are visible, and no one can be identified from this view.2013-11-03Close photo of a ritual setup with ornate silver vessels and small silver oil lamps arranged on a low silver-legged stand. At the centre, a bronze female figure holding a flame stands among the vessels. On the right, a hand with a rudraksha bracelet rests near a silver pot and a dark wooden block. Behind, red cloth hangs in folds. Only partial arms of one person are visible, so the ritual participant is not identifiable and no face appears.
