A photograph in an orange-walled room. A man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, orange shawl, brown inner garment, gold chain and earrings stands at left smiling and holding a small wooden box with a gold-patterned lid. Behind him a man in a grey shirt with a lanyard pours liquid from a small metal vessel onto a tray of orange marigold flowers. At right, a bald man in orange robes and a pink knitted cap holds marigold flowers, and another man in a pink cap stands at the far right edge. Plastic chairs and a gold-tinted seat are visible in the background. Whether the man at left is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.
