A photograph of a ritual preparation scene on a colourful striped cloth. Several enamel basins with red rims hold white powder, a pale grainy mixture, dark green liquid and yellow turmeric-like powder. Hands in gold-bordered dark clothing mix and press the substances, while a stone mortar with yellow powder and a grinding stone sits at the right edge. A partially visible person in red and gold sits at the left. Other people are visible only as hands and arms.
