December 15 20112011-12-15Close photograph of a seated figure holding a tall silver staff topped with a finely engraved silver bird, its beak holding a small red bead. The figure wears a maroon and red brocade garment with gold floral embroidery and a heavy gold necklace, and has several rings on the hand gripping the staff, including green-stoned pieces. Behind is a dense backdrop of yellow, white and magenta flowers arranged in an arch, with an orange cloth draped over a tan cushioned armrest. Only a hand, arm and torso are visible; no face appears in frame, so no identification is made.2011-12-15December 22 20112011-12-22September 23 20112011-09-23PhotoAlbum +1 copiesClose photograph of a seated person's hand gripping an ornate gold-coloured ceremonial staff with a flame-like finial and bulbous, carved sections.
