Photograph of brass and metal plates arranged on a reddish-brown wooden ledge holding offerings of split coconuts with white flesh exposed, ripe bananas, white jasmine-style flower clusters, green leaves and small red flowers. Small printed cards with a red-bordered picture are tucked among the plates. A patch of white powder is dusted on the wood. A person in a striped garment is partly visible at the top right edge, and a figure in pale clothing appears at the far right. The setting suggests a temple offering table during a ritual.
