A photograph of a man in an orange garment seated at a table covered with a purple cloth, holding up a dried yellowish leaf with a circular dark mark toward the camera. Beside him are an open notebook with handwritten pages, a small gold-coloured tin box with its lid open, a flat metal tin with a pale circular mark, a square grey stone block with a powdery yellow-brown patch, a loose brass or gold disc, and a flat copper-toned piece. The scene appears to be a hands-on demonstration of items being prepared or examined during a session. No readable name appears beyond the copyright credit.
