In the foreground, a person in a red and orange garment with a rudraksha mala holds up a large hammered copper cobra hood with scale texture and five raised ridges, the hood's tip at the bottom. At left, another person in orange clothing with beaded necklaces handles a similar plate. The setting appears to be a workshop or storage room for ritual metalwork. No identifiable a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance.
