The central figure wears a jeweled crown, a gold and red-stoned necklace, a white dhoti with gold border and a red cloth, and holds a sword-like staff while a large cobra with raised hood coils around it. Flanking figures, one in green and one in blue saris with tall crowns and heavy gold jewelry, stand on either side.
