A brass hand-held ladle or spoon pours flames over a copper fire bowl on a table covered with striped cloth. Burning dried grass and straw flare up, with a bundle of straw lying beside the bowl. Small brass bowls and plates hold yellow powder and grey-green powder, and a small brass cup stands on the right. A person in orange-red robes is seen only partially at the top, guiding the fire. The setting appears to be an outdoor table, consistent with a fire ritual such as a homa.2017-12-10November 05 20172017-11-05Photo 11706341 +1 copiesA homa fire ritual is shown in close framing. A person wearing a maroon-red robe sits cross-legged, with only the lower body and hands visible; a bead mala hangs at the neck and one hand rests on a silver-capped staff. The other hand holds a bundle of dried grass dropped onto a dark stone fire pit where flames rise. Beside the pit sit a brass bowl with liquid, a stone grinding mortar with a black pestle, and ornate silver-lidded vessels on a pink and cream cloth.2017-11-05Photo 11708289 +2 copiesPhoto 11717917 +2 copiesAugust 16 20182018-08-16November 05 20172017-11-05November 05 20172017-11-05August 31 20172017-08-31Photo 11701817 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copies
