Close view of an ornate silver-plated ceremonial object on a white cloth spread over a grey concrete floor. The object has a domed, repoussé-decorated top with lotus-petal bands and a square stepped base, with a dark rod or handle rising from its centre. Yellow painted floor lines run along the edges, and the feet of seated people in white are partly visible at the top of the frame. No people's faces are shown, and the scene appears to be a procession or gathering setting.
