A brass plate holds a small red-robed figurine of a seated guru with a tall orange crown, beside a white conch shell, marigold petals and green leaves. A hand holding a flower reaches toward the figurine, while another hand is folded in front of a second brass plate with red flowers. Brass bowls with a rice-like grain, a brass kalasha-style vessel, an oil lamp with a lit flame, and an incense stick complete the offering. Only two partial arms are visible, so no full person is shown. The figurine is a statue, so no in-person a person candidate is identifiable from appearance.2017-01-22
