Close-up photograph of a tall copper pole with raised bands of carved rope-like relief, viewed from below against a pale blue sky. Tied near the top are two bundles of orange cloth joined by golden cord, with a looped orange cord, mango leaves, dried wheat or grass stalks and a small cinnamon-coloured stick bound among them. No people are visible; the decorated pole and its offerings are the main subject.
