Close-up photograph of an ornate brass or copper ritual object with a rounded, engraved head and lobed chambers, tied with string and held up against a blurred green and blue outdoor background in warm sunlight. The object appears to be a temple or ceremonial implement with a raised hand-like handle at its base, which may be a hand-shaped holder. No people are clearly visible; partial figures at the lower left edge are not identifiable. The foreground object is sharply focused while the background is soft and out of focus.
