Close-up of a ritual offering arrangement on a red-cloth-draped surface. White frangipani-style flowers, yellow marigold-type blossoms and red roses lie among silver bowls and a small brass oil lamp with a lit wick. A hand reaches in among the flowers to place or adjust an offering. Several silver bowls hold water, orange liquid and petals. No person's face is visible and no one is identifiable as a person in this frame.
