A seated man in a dark red-brown robe and matching turban sits on an ornate silver throne carved with floral and scrollwork, with leopard-print cushions. He wears long garlands of red and white flowers and a purple flower garland at his waist, and a small bindi on his forehead. In front of him a bare-chested attendant in saffron-orange cloth and turban, with gold armlets and a white beaded necklace, presents a tray with papers or offerings. Silver staffs stand on either side of the throne and a silver lion figure sits at its base. The backdrop is a painted stage set with orange and green pillars. This appears to be a stage-set discourse or ceremonial scene. The seated man is a candidate for a person, based on the throne setting, garlands and red-brown robe, though his appearance is only partially distinctive.
