                Buddhist offering plate
              
              
              Buddhist offering plate left at a temple in Siem Reap.  You will find these left at ancient and active Buddhist temples.  If I understand correctly (which I may not) they offerings to ancestors.  The cigarettes are not so common to see in such plates in my experience.
