A man with a bare chest and a white shawl rides in an ornate golden chariot decorated with garlands of yellow, purple and white flowers, hanging tassels in green, blue, orange and yellow, and bells. He wears a golden crown and a red garland and raises his right hand in greeting. Behind him is a red velvet cushioned seat and gold-painted ornamentation. Several people's heads are visible at the bottom of the frame, and trees and bright sky fill the background.
