A performer dressed as a deity stands in red and green stage lighting inside an ornate red-gold arch. The figure holds a silver trident in one hand and a peacock feather fan in the other, wears a tiger-striped green and orange garment with sequined gold and red adornments, and has long dark hair. Behind the arch, a red painted panel and gilded decorative frame fill the background. One other figure is faintly visible in the red background. The scene resembles a festival or stage tableau rather than a clearly identified ritual.
