A close side-profile photograph of a lifelike figure wearing a deep magenta turban adorned with a gold crescent ornament, a beaded jewelled brooch bearing a white tripundra mark, and a turquoise teardrop pendant. A reddish tilak is on the forehead and the figure wears beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and a gold-tone earring. Beside it on the left stands a gold-coloured serpent sculpture and a golden deity murti with a conical crown in the foreground. The background is a dark purple drape. Whether this is a live person, a wax or sculpted likeness is uncertain from the image alone.
