A photograph of five small round silver containers with embossed floral lids resting on a large ornate silver tray with a repoussé scalloped rim. The tray sits on a plain blue-grey surface. No people are visible; the objects appear to be ritual vessels, possibly for offerings or sacred powders.

A close view of an ornate embossed silver serving tray held by hands at the edge of the frame. The tray carries several empty silver bowls with repoussé floral and scroll patterns, and a larger rectangular silver platter sits in the foreground with a central symmetrical foliate motif. No people's faces are visible, only a partial hand and white sleeve at the top left. The silverware appears to be ritual or temple serving vessels.
