A seated man in an orange turban and matching orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and armrests, smiling with hands clasped in front of him. He wears layered beaded necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a jewelled ornament on the turban. A silver staff with a carved animal-head top rests beside the throne, and white frangipani-style flowers lie on a red footstool at his feet. The backdrop is purple and gold with red plants at the right edge. Appearance-based cues of orange turban, layered beaded malas and ornate gold throne suggest a person seated in a place of honour, though the page indicates he was not at this event.
