Four rough, unpolished stones rest on a crumpled off-white cloth. From left to right: a larger translucent pale quartz-like rock with brownish inclusions, a small pinkish-grey stone, a tan and ochre stone with a smooth side, and a reddish-brown rust-coloured stone with a rough, pitted surface. No people, deities, or ritual objects are visible; the setting is a plain close-up of natural stones.
