He wears an orange turban and an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, with long dreadlocked black hair falling down his back and beaded bracelets on his upper arms. A silver lamp stands on the left of the table, and a second person with a forehead marking peeks up from below the table edge on the left. The figure is seen from behind, so his face is not visible.
