Three polished bronze deity figurines stand on a red cloth at a ritual setting. The central figure is a standing male deity with a crown and a raised hand, flanked by a figure with a tall crown and multiple arms, and a slender standing female figure on the left with a tall crown and necklaces. Plastic water bottles, one with a pink cap, sit behind them, and the edge of a person's bare feet is visible at the top. No physical people are clearly shown; the figurines are statues.
