A man in white ceremonial clothing with a white-and-red garland and a gold necklace stands on a heaped mound of colourful petals and flowers in front of a gilded throne with a golden canopy and lion-shaped armrests. A white-and-red floral garland and a gold chain hang on his shoulders. Two attendants in saffron-orange robes stand at the sides: one on the left wears a gold necklace and a maroon shawl, and another in orange is partially visible at the right edge. The pavilion is decorated with yellow floral drapery, a red valance and a silver-trimmed backdrop, and a brass bowl sits on the red floor. The scene reads as a reception with flower offerings at a throne. Appearance is not enough to establish that the central man is a person, so the figure is described by role and clothing only.
