A smiling man in a white turban with a red bindi and long dark hair stands before an ornate gilded throne with a golden canopy umbrella overhead and a dark blue curtain behind.

The turban, garland and gilded throne suggest a formal honouring setting, but the figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.
