A photograph of a table covered in a green cloth with ritual objects laid out. A small brass tin with an open lid holds a flat engraved metal plate. Nearby are a small round brass container, a pink lotus-like flower bud, a dried leaf, a wooden stick, a folded orange cloth, and a grey stone slab. In the lower left a hand in a white sleeve writes in an open notebook beside a printed worksheet. On the right an orange-brown bag with a printed image sits at the edge of the frame. No faces are visible, so no one can be identified and no person is recognizable in this view.
