Close-up photograph of two aged hands, one wearing a gold ring and the other a gold bangle at the wrist, applying white paste or ash to another hand. The wrists and forearms are bare, with a dim, out-of-focus background of brass-toned surfaces and a metal vessel. The scene suggests a ritual anointing; only hands are visible, and no face or full body appears in the frame.
