A seated man with eyes closed sits before an ornate silver throne decorated with peacock motifs and inlaid red, green and blue gems. He wears a reddish-brown cloth, pink and white flower garlands, layered gold necklaces and a gold armlet, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead. A tiger-striped cloth rests beneath him. An attendant in a reddish-brown cloth, shown from behind at right, holds a brass tray of pink and white flowers toward him. A silver figure is partly visible at the lower left. The scene appears to be an indoor ceremonial setting. Appearance cues are consistent with the page's identification of a person, but the figure is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm, so identity is uncertain.
