A dim, dark interior photograph of a narrow passage with rough, dark walls cluttered with thin metal rods, hooks and wiring. A single warm light bulb hangs near the top of the frame, casting a faint glow and showing cobwebs along the beams. The lower part of the frame is almost completely black, with no visible people, figures or ritual activity in view.
