Close view of a black stone naga-hood sculpture, its five cobra hoods rising above a stacked black round base with a shallow bowl-shaped top. A small flame burns in the bowl, with red dots marking the hood ridges and scattered petals and red pigment around the base. No people are visible; this resembles a small ritual lamp or deity seat in a temple setting.
