A photo of three tall silver-coloured metal poles standing upright against a grey stone block wall in a dim interior. Each pole has an ornate floral capital with a flat square top and a lotus-like carved band, and long thin rods project upward from their tops. Several additional thin rods lean against the poles at the right. A blue plastic object sits at the left edge. No people are visible. The poles appear to be silver procession items, possibly parts of a palanquin or ratha frame stored in a back room.
