A cluster of dried, curled leaves rests on a light brown, granular soil surface in Thotagamuwa, Sri Lanka. The visible surfaces of the leaves are predominantly pale greyish-white with distinct venation, contrasting with the brown undersides revealed by their curled edges. The leaves appear brittle and are loosely arranged. To the upper right, the soil transitions into an area of sparse green vegetation, including grass and small plants, intermixed with dry plant debris. The scene is static, devoid of human figures, actions, or interactions, and is illuminated by natural daylight.
