A large round brass tray holds many small brass oil lamps with lit wicks and oil cups, several flames burning brightly. A person's arm, with a brown skin tone, gold bangle and orange-red sleeve or cloth, reaches in from the left to tend the lamps. The surface beneath is pale marble, and a white cloth lies at the upper left. No faces are visible, and no a person candidate is shown. Only the hand and arm of one person are visible.
