A golden statue of a standing male figure, bare-chested with a yellow-gold dhoti, right hand raised in abhaya mudra, is being anointed with a paste or mixture. A human hand with bangles holds a bowl of the mixture at lower left. Behind the figure are garlands of yellow and magenta flowers, purple draped cloth, and a white-draped platform. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, so no physical people are counted beyond the partly visible hand.
