A photograph of an oval silver offering tray seen from above, arranged with ripe red strawberries across the upper section, a layer of dark raisins, a scattering of peanuts, and a mass of dried black plums below. Two spotted bananas curve along the top and bottom edges of the tray. The tray sits on a cream cloth with gold trim and a gold-edged blue fabric at the left. No people are visible, and no deity, priest or a person appears in the frame; the image shows only the fruit offering as prepared on the cloth.
