Close-up photograph of a pair of ornate gold-coloured metal sandals placed on a red cloth decorated with gold and blue embroidered borders. The sandals are heavily engraved with floral scrollwork and have small round red-stone ornaments on the sides. Red rose petals are scattered across the sandals and cloth, and a small silver leaf-shaped ornament with a central emblem rests among them. A dark rudraksha-style bead ornament sits between the sandal tops. The arrangement suggests a padukas offering of sacred footwear.
