A flat-lay photograph on a folded blue cloth showing ceremonial temple paraphernalia laid out for a deity's accessories. Across the top sit four brass items: an oval-framed mirror, a teardrop-shaped brass ornament with a central medallion, a brass flag with pointed triangular cut-outs, and a small brass parasol with a red emblem. Below, a large round brass fan with scalloped edges and a long decorated handle is placed beside a fluffy white whisk or chamara of fine white fibres. The cloth rests on a white-speckled tiled floor with plastic bags and a metal stand at the edge. No people are visible.
