Low-angle outdoor photo under a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. A man in an orange-red saffron robe and a gold-beaded necklace stands beside a tall copper-coloured ornate flagstaff, his right hand gripping an orange rope wound around the pole. His head is bowed slightly and his hair is pulled back. At the right edge, the arm and orange robe of another person are partly visible in the foreground. A palm frond appears at the right, and carved figures decorate the base of the pole.
