A seated bearded man with long dark hair and a rust-brown turban smiles while seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of gold-coloured carved panels. He wears a rust-red and gold shawl over a rust-brown robe and a layered necklace of white beads, red beads and silver-toned pendants. Three men stand beside him: one in a white shirt with an orange shawl and yellow sash, one with a red-brown cloth on his shoulder and a dark moustache, and a younger man at the lower right in white with an orange shawl, partly cropped, reaching toward the seated man's hand.
