A gilded statue seated on a throne-like chair with deep maroon-orange drapery and gold trim. The figure wears a rust-red turban with a gold jewelled ornament, layered pearl and gold necklaces, a beaded red-and-gold garment, and a golden waistband. The right hand is raised in a blessing gesture and the left rests on the lap. Leopard-print fabric lies beneath, with a golden backdrop of polka dots behind. The statue has a long dark hairstyle and a golden face. Not a living person; the figure is a statue, so no physical people are present. A ceremonial candidate in the statue's appearance is not established, so the identity is treated as unsure.2014-01-22A silver-toned statue of a standing figure in a niche with an ornate silver arch, lit by purple and blue lights. The figure wears a layered turban with pleats, ornate necklaces, a beaded garland with red stones, and a draped patterned silk garment in blue and gold tones.
