Close photo of a seated person in saffron-orange robes with a large gold and beaded necklace, sitting cross-legged at a low table. Their hands rest over a round brass plate filled with fine light-coloured grain, and a small bowl of red-orange offerings sits beside it. A small brass lamp is visible at the right edge. The torso and hands are the main focus; no face is shown. Ritual or priestly activity appears to be taking place.
