He wears a rust-red saffron cloth draped over his bare shoulder and a gold necklace at his throat. His hands reach forward toward an unseen object in the lower left. Behind him stands a silver ceremonial staff and blurred garlands of white and maroon flowers with gold and yellow decorations. The setting appears to be an indoor ritual or initiation space.
