Close view of a polished brass tray holding a loose bundle of white cotton threads, some with yellow-tinged ends, on a checked blue and grey stand. Sacred thread for a ritual tying is placed on the tray, with a brass vessel and a red flower visible at the top right edge. No people are visible in the frame; only the feet of someone are partly seen at the top, out of focus.2016-08-18May 02 20172017-05-02Overhead photo of a ritual scene. A large bundle of loose white cotton threads or yarn lies on a brass plate, with orange-red coloured tips visible on some strands. Beside it is a silver plate with a scalloped rim on an orange and striped cloth. At the top and right, hands in white clothing with red-and-white borders are visible, one hand holding a white-painted gesture. A small green grass-like sprig sits at the right edge. No deity or a person figure is clearly visible.2010-12-16April 30 20122012-04-30Photo 11701236 +2 copiesDecember 02 20162016-12-02 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of white cotton thread loops laid out in rows on a striped textile with purple, red, orange, yellow and green bands.
