Photograph of an ornate silver throne-like seat or pedestal, richly embossed with floral and figural relief work, shown inside a glass-fronted shrine on a polished stainless steel base. A green silk cloth is draped over the seat, with a red-and-white jeweled ornament hanging at its center, and yellow marigold-type flowers sit on either side. A pink rose and a purple flower lie on the base in front, beside a small silver bowl. No people are visible. The scene reads as a temple altar or deity seat prepared for daily worship.
