A seated figure in a rust-red robe and layered rudraksha malas grinds ingredients in a dark stone mortar, using a long brass pestle with a yellow powder being poured in. Silver bowls and a silver tray with a small ornate container sit to the left, and a worn stone mortar with wooden pestle lies in the foreground beside a white shell. Ornate brass and silver items and a woven basket frame the scene, with a striped cloth beneath. Only hands and torso are visible, so the person is not clearly identifiable.
