A close photograph of a homa fire pit lined with yellow-painted brick. A bare arm reaches in from the left to place bananas and halved oranges beside a burning log. Yellow-orange powder and crushed grain or noodle-like offerings cover the log, and flames rise at its right end. The warm yellow tones dominate the scene. No people's faces are visible, and the setting appears to be a ritual fire offering.
