The image presents a close-up, slightly high-angle view of a ceramic ashtray filled with ash and several cigarette butts, located indoors in Damascus, Syria. The ashtray is light-colored, appearing pale green or off-white, with faded blue and brown decorative lines on its interior surface. A substantial quantity of grey and white ash occupies the ashtray's basin. Three primary cigarette butts are visible amidst the ash: one centrally located butt features a white filter with a distinct blue band and the word "Millionaire" printed in dark lettering; another butt in the lower-left also displays a white filter with a blue band; and a third, partially obscured white-filtered butt rests to the lower-right. All cigarette butts are partially consumed, exhibiting charred paper and tobacco remnants. The background, intentionally blurred, reveals a dark-colored fabric with an intricate, curvilinear, light-toned pattern, consistent with upholstery or a decorative textile. No individuals are depicted.
