A close side view of a person with long, dark, wavy hair wearing a loose orange garment that drapes over the shoulder and bare upper back. The person bends forward, pressing their forehead against a weathered grey stone block carved with a bead-and-garland relief. One hand rests on the stone in front. The gesture suggests reverent prostration or touching a sacred stone structure. Gold-toned metal is visible at the right edge. The face is mostly hidden, so no identity can be established from appearance; the orange clothing and long hair are the only visible cues.
