A photograph of a cluttered display of brass and copper ritual objects laid out on a striped woven cloth in a dim room. Visible items include a copper repoussé panel with circular motifs, copper horn-shaped vessels, brass oil lamps on stands, brass bells, a stack of gold-coloured wrapped sheets, cone-shaped brass finials and small lamps. No people are visible, so this is an object arrangement rather than a gathering, and no one in the scene can be identified as a person.
