A homa fire pit built of yellow-painted bricks with red marks burns with logs and charcoal, decorated with yellow marigold and purple flowers and green leaves. A stream of golden liquid is poured from a metal vessel at the top right into the flames, sending up white smoke. Blurred in the background, several people in white and dark clothing stand in rows near a pillar, one figure in orange at the left edge.
