A photograph of a bare-chested man in a pink and green turban and a green checked cloth draped over his shoulder, wearing a large beaded necklace of wooden beads and a gold pendant. He raises one hand holding a flower-wrapped object and holds a silver ritual spoon or ladle in the other, against a dark background with a bright light at left.
