Close view of a tall grey stone or metal pillar. Circular frames of orange marigold and green leaves surround the pillar at intervals. Three carved bands of decorated stone circle the base, with a round disc-like medallion in the middle. A small figure or ornament sits at the top beneath a mass of flowers. Festival decoration suggests a flag-hoisting setting, but no people are visible.
