An ancient eight-sided dice rests prominently on a weathered wooden table, with a majestic white and gold temple blurred softly in the background. The light is gentle, illuminating the scene with high precision yet low contrast, while a shallow depth of field brings the focus entirely to the intricate, engraved numbers on the dice. The composition is intimate and tight, allowing the dice to dominate the frame. In the periphery, subtly out of focus, an elderly man and a figure resembling Ian McKellen lend a timeless presence to the scene. The style is minimalist, spotlighting only the dice, table, and temple. Subtle atmospheric effects envelop the scene, enhancing its enigmatic and contemplative mood.
