A single man stands centered in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He has long dark wavy hair, a red bindi on his forehead with white forehead markings, and wears an orange saffron shawl with a gold zari border draped over his shoulders. A heavy gold necklace of barrel-shaped beads with dark bands and a central gold pendant hangs across his chest. His hands rest at his sides. Identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a devotee or sannyasi-style dressed person.
