Two standing men wear white hairnets; the man in the middle wears a dark shirt with a red-orange scarf and a small ID badge, and the man on the right wears a pale yellow striped shirt with a red-and-yellow badge. A crouching man in a maroon striped shirt and grey trousers, also in a hairnet, scoops or smooths rice from a steel pot placed on a sack. Behind them are steel vessels, a large black cooking pot, a folding table and a patterned rug hanging on the right. No deity, throne or ritual dais is visible.
