A tall ornate wooden structure atop a carved stone pillar against a pale sky, photographed from below. The wooden frame has stacked tiers with scalloped edges, small hanging bells, and two tufted finials at the top, with a red cloth and a cable running down the side. No people are visible. The image resembles a ceremonial pole or temple-associated fixture rather than a clearly identified ritual.
