Close-up photograph of a large shallow stainless steel tray filled with small reddish-brown and tan seeds or grains, possibly lentils or dried beans, in dense heaped rows. A small red dried chilli or piece of red material sits at the left edge, and a blurred pale fabric or cloth occupies the top background. No people, deities or ritual figures are visible in the frame, so the scene reads as an ingredient preparation for a ceremony.
