A white marble statue of a seated sage with a turban-like head covering, a gentle smile and one hand raised in a blessing gesture, draped in a light cloth, sits in a meditation pose on a square base. Water trickles over the statue. Beside it is a small copper-coloured tiered object resembling a shrine or stepped pyramid. Behind are dark stone surfaces, red draped cloth and a blurred green background. No living people are visible and the statue is a depiction, not a person present in the scene.
