The figure wears a deep maroon-brown head covering and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold jewelled plates and a gold waist ornament. Behind, purple and gold fabric and gold-toned sculpted figures are visible. The gold serpent canopy suggests a deity form or a ceremonial decorated murti rather than a living person.2016-12-17
