The performer, bare-chested and wearing dramatic stage makeup with a thin moustache, raises one arm and holds a sheer red patterned veil with the other. The costume includes a leopard-print lower garment with green and orange panels, ornate ankle and arm bands, a beaded necklace and a dark headpiece with a crest. The performance appears to be a theatrical dance act. No clear ceremonial figure of a person is identifiable from appearance, so no identification is made.2009-12-24A female classical dancer performs on a stage with a green floor and a white draped curtain behind her.
