A bare-chested man with long dark dreadlocks wrapped in a turban-like coil, adorned with a pink flower, holds a silver trident against his forehead with closed eyes. He wears a maroon-red cloth draped over his shoulder, gold necklaces, a gold armlet and bangles, and a white forehead marking. Behind him stands an ornate gold and red throne with intricate carving, and a dark red curtain forms the backdrop. A candidate matching the appearance cues of the page subject is present, but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a ceremonial participant holding a trident in devotion.
