Photograph of a pair of dark leather sandals decorated with yellow marigold-style flowers and small red flowers, resting on an ornate gold-and-red decorated tray with coloured stones and a white crocheted cloth beneath. Two pairs of sandals are visible, one pair placed behind the other. Pink flowers lie near the front, and blue and pink pompoms appear at the upper edge. No people are visible; the scene reads as an offering arrangement of footwear for a devotional display.
