Museum catalogue photograph of a ceremonial kite from a civilisation that never existed, shown in partial reconstruction: a wide frame of split bamboo shaped like a manta ray, about two metres across, laid flat, with only about a third of its original skin surviving — thin translucent membrane painted with faded concentric rings — and the missing areas left as bare frame. A coil of hand-twisted line and a carved wooden reel lie beside it. Neutral grey seamless background, raking light from the left, a black-and-white scale bar and a small accession card beside the object with no legible writing on it. Archaeological museum catalogue documentation style. No readable text, no letters, no numbers, no logos.
