A close-up, top-down view depicts a light-skinned human hand holding a single, unpeeled rhizome, consistent with ginger, against a background of numerous similar rhizomes contained within a woven basket. The held rhizome, positioned centrally, is oblong, approximately 15-20 cm long, with a rough, dry, light brown to tan exterior, exhibiting darker brown nodes, fibrous textures, and circular root scars. The thumb and fingers of the left hand are visible on the lower left, gripping the rhizome. In the blurred background, a collection of other unpeeled, irregular-shaped rhizomes with similar characteristics rests within a dark brown, tightly woven basket, identifiable by its distinct square-grid lattice pattern. The scene is located in Bobon, Philippines.
