A standing figure against a solid black background wears a rust-red draped dhoti with gold embroidered edges, a wide belt and chest band strung with gold bells and white beads, a gold pendant necklace, gold anklets, and a white forehead band. He holds a tall gold trident with a drum hung from its shaft in one hand and a gold-tipped staff in the other, one bare foot planted on a tiered golden pedestal. He is shown without shirt and looks toward the camera, smiling. The scene is a posed studio-style image. This appears to be a costumed depiction of Shiva iconography, with the trident, drum and bells marking the deity form.
