Close-up photograph of a hand resting on an ornate ornamented golden-copper surface with embossed floral and scroll patterns, while another hand with a gold signet ring and a red-and-blue thread bracelet touches a fingertip nearby. The soft pink and magenta lighting blurs the background; a reddish fabric drapes at the left edge and a blurred figure in white sits at the right. The hands are not clearly attributable to any person whose identity is established, so no a person candidate is described.
