The image displays a close-up, top-down view of a metallic heat management device, commonly used for hookah, attributed to the city of At-Tall, Syria. The device is circular with a perforated flat top surface and features a decorative, petal-like flanged perimeter composed of overlapping, curved metal pieces. Resting on the perforated surface are three approximately cuboid charcoal briquettes. These briquettes are covered in a layer of grey ash, with visible orange-red embers indicating they are actively burning and hot. The metallic surface of the device shows signs of wear, including scratches and ash residue. The lighting is dim, with the glow from the hot coals providing the primary illumination, creating an ambient red hue against a dark, indistinct background. No individuals, specific actions, or interactions are present in the frame.
