Close-up photo of a ceremonial staff held by a hand in the foreground. The staff is a dark cobra-shaped rod with gold scale-pattern detailing and a small red-jewelled hooded head. Its gold-toned top is an ornate deity-style head with a crown-like carved ornament, resting against a rust-orange cloth draped over a person's lap. The person wears gold-toned bangles, and the background is dark with blurred figures in a hall.
