Behind him is a wall of printed cutout figures of standing men in traditional dress holding instruments, set above draped pink and blue cloth swags with white flower garlands. Two small woven baskets holding green-topped offerings sit at the front of the stage. The appearance-based identity is uncertain, so no name is asserted.
