A person seen from behind and slightly to the side, with long dark curly hair and a saffron-orange garment draped over the shoulder, stands before a large pale stone bas-relief carved with dense battle scenes. Chariots with spoked wheels, horses, elephants and many armed soldiers fill the carved panels. The person holds a thin reddish-orange stick or pointer toward a detail of the carving, as if explaining it. A rudraksha-style bead necklace is visible at the shoulder.
