A photograph of a hand holding a shallow pale green enamel plate with a red rim, its surface coated with a dark black paste smeared in circular strokes, with faint impressions visible in the paste. Behind it, a large gilded ornamental object with floral and figural relief rests on a stone surface. Orange and pink cloth hangs at the left, and several small brass or copper trays with dark sediment sit on the right. A tiny wristwatch is visible on the wrist. No face is shown. The scene appears to be a ritual preparation setting with brass vessels and offering trays.
