A large fire burns in a dark rectangular fire pit at night, with tall orange and yellow flames rising from the coals. The surroundings are almost entirely black; faint, indistinct shapes of a person in pale clothing stand far back on the left, mostly lost in shadow. The scene suggests a sacred fire ritual such as a homa or yagna.
