A smiling man sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red and orange roses, and white jasmine strands, with a flower arch framing the seat. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi on his forehead, a peach-pink embroidered silk tunic with gold necklace, and an orange-and-gold saffron shawl draped over his shoulder. His hands rest clasped in his lap. A gold trident stands beside the throne and a gold lion-head carving is at the left edge. The man's appearance is consistent with a person candidate in ceremonial saffron and throne presentation, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
