Close-up of a bare-chested figure's hands gripping an ornate silver ceremonial staff with an engraved, forked top, held over a silver cup. The wrists wear a braided reddish-brown cord bracelet, and the torso shows gold-toned beaded necklaces with dark rudraksha-style beads and a ceremonial gold pendant. Behind is blurred green foliage. Distinctive adornments suggest a person candidate in a ritual setting, but the face and full figure are not visible, so identity remains uncertain.2020-06-17May 29 20202020-05-29April 10 20202020-04-10 +1 copiesClose-up of a seated figure in a deep maroon robe holding an ornate engraved silver staff or sceptre with both hands across the lap, the staff's decorated silver bands and carved patterns prominent.

In the background a painted deity figure with a raised hand holding a sword or implement appears on a dark forest-like backdrop. Only partial body parts are visible; no full face shows.2020-04-20 +1 copiesApril 11 20202020-04-11 +1 copiesMarch 08 20202020-03-08 +2 copiesMarch 04 20202020-03-04 +2 copiesClose-up photograph of a bare forearm resting on an ornate silver-coloured staff with a curved handle engraved with floral patterns.
