A drawing illustrating an ancient festival.

Reason: it directly documents and preserves a cultural practice/tradition (strong cultural‑heritage value). The earrings are primarily monetary, the decaying painting may be too deteriorated to conserve, and the ruler’s furniture is historically significant but less directly representative of community cultural heritage than the festival depiction.
