A large dark metal gong or drum-like disc leans against a weathered wooden lattice partition on a plain pale stone floor. A black iron wok-style pan with handles sits at the left edge, and metal vessels with a paper tag stand on a wooden shelf in the background. No people are visible, and the setting appears to be an old palace interior.
