Close-up photograph of two hands passing a small white object between them against a blurred background of muted reds, greys and greens. A man's bare forearm reaches from the right, his fingers holding a thin white stick or rolled item, while an older person's hand with a gold bangle on the wrist extends from the lower left to receive it. The shallow depth of field keeps the faces out of view.
