A silver rectangular ritual tray or altar piece is covered with red and pink rose petals, white jasmine-type flowers, yellow marigold-style blossoms and small dark brown seed or grain offerings, with a stalk of grass or straw standing upright in the center and a green leaf at the upper right. Behind it, rows of yellow-painted bricks or blocks are decorated with white flower markings, and colorful woven striped cloths in red, purple, green and orange cover the floor. No people are visible. This appears to be a flower and grain offering arranged for puja.
