A photograph taken in dim light of a man in a sleeveless orange-red robe seated in front of an ornate gold-toned backdrop. He has long dark hair, smiles broadly and raises one hand to his cheek. A large ornate golden frame or ceremonial structure fills the left foreground, and a thin bamboo pole rises beside it. Warm light on the gold details contrasts with the dark background. A candidate matching a person may be present; the cues are long hair and saffron-toned clothing, but the face and seated position are not clear enough to confirm identity.
