A woven bamboo basket filled with fresh flowers placed for ritual offering. Red blossoms with dark centres sit at upper left, clusters of small pale lavender star-shaped flowers fill the upper right, white jasmine-like blooms and stems curl in the centre right, and magenta-purple flowers crowd the lower left. Loose petals and a single white flower lie scattered among them on a dark surface. No people are visible; the image shows only flowers in the basket.
