Photo of a large red cloth draped over a wooden tray or box held by several people. Hands grip the edges of the red fabric, and two small white objects sit on its surface near the centre. Two people in white clothing with yellow-gold borders are visible at the edges, seated on a light tiled floor. Only hands, feet and partial legs of people appear; no faces are visible. The scene suggests a ritual handling of a covered object, though the specific activity is not clear.
