A photograph of many small metal bowls arranged in rows across a bright red cloth, each filled with a different heaped dry ingredient: grains, seeds, powders, coarse salts and dried leaves in browns, whites, greens and pinkish tones. Above the bowls, out of focus, are mounds of colourful flower petals in red, pink, yellow and white. No people are visible, and the scene reads as a display of herbs and offering materials prepared for a ceremony.
