A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped up in a turban-like style, with a crescent ornament at the top, sits smiling on a brown leather throne with gold carved frame and gold lion-head armrests. He wears an orange-red shawl over a bare chest, layered garlands of white and gold beads, a large gold pendant medallion with a bird motif, and a leopard-print lower garment. Bangles or beaded bracelets cover his forearms, and he holds a small ceremonial sceptre-like object in one hand. A red tilak mark is on his forehead. Blurred audience members in the background suggest a large gathering.
