A hand holds a small gold-coloured ornamental figure above a round silver platter filled with red and pink rose petals. Beneath the petals sits a flat brass base with two small brass knobs. Around it are brass and silver vessels, including a silver cup holding a silver-coloured foil cutout, and a brass bowl. The scene suggests a paduka puja setting, with petal offerings and metal ritual objects. One visible hand is the only person.2013-09-21February 02 20172017-02-02July 22 20122012-07-22A photograph of a puja arrangement on a woven mat.
