Close crop of a bare, sunlit arm of a person against a backdrop of leafy tree branches and foliage. Around the upper arm is a silver-toned metal armlet with an engraved fan-like or leaf pattern. Pale ash or vibhuti-like streaks mark the skin of the arm. Only a small portion of the body is visible, so no face, head or full figure appears in the frame.
