Close photograph of a man in a white shirt with his eyes closed and head tilted back, arms raised with palms facing forward, while another person's bare arm reaches in from the right to press a hand onto his forehead. He wears a navy lanyard with white lettering and a beaded bracelet on one wrist. The dark red curtain behind suggests a stage or hall setting. Appears to be a blessing or touch-based ritual gesture; no visible throne, deity or ceremonial object identifies the occasion. Only two people are visible, and no person is clearly identified as a person by visible cues.2011-12-02A close photograph of a man in a plain white shirt with arms raised and palms open, eyes closed, while another person's hand presses on his forehead in a blessing or initiation gesture.
