A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a short beard, bare-chested apart from a jasmine garland and a reddish-brown cloth wrap, pierced through his upper arm and shoulder with several green lemons on pins with red and green ribbon tails, in a ritual lemon-piercing setting. Beside him, a man in a white and red checked shirt holds a tall silver staff with a ribbed handle. Behind them, blurred figures and a colourful striped cloth canopy appear. The lemon piercing is visible but the performer is shown in profile and his face is only partly seen.

His left arm, dusted white, has several green lemons pinned to it with red threads, while another person's hands in white powder hold the arm during the lemon-piercing ritual. The lemons and white-dusted arm suggest a lemon-piercing practice, and a faint circular logo appears at lower left.2018-01-03January 03 20182018-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20182018-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20182018-01-03January 03 20182018-01-03January 03 20182018-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20182018-01-03January 03 20182018-01-03September 27 20172017-09-27
