A seated man in a saffron-orange shawl with a gold zari border sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a long gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, a rudraksha and pearl mala, and a rudraksha armband with a small silver clasp. His hands rest folded in his lap, and a red bindi and white tilak mark his forehead. The visible appearance cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold adornments, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas) are consistent with a person seated in a formal setting, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
