A man in white shirt and white trousers walks across a sandy ground at night carrying a lit brass oil lamp in one hand and a small brass vessel in the other. He has a red mark on his forehead and a lanyard with an ID badge around his neck. Behind him are trees, shrubs and a red brick edging with a garden hose lying on the sand. The scene suggests an evening ritual procession with an oil lamp.
