He sits cross-legged, smiling and raising one hand in a blessing gesture, with a tall gold staff beside him. Behind the throne is a large painted backdrop of a temple hall with red-carpeted aisle and seated devotees. He has long swept-back hair and a red forehead mark, with a presentation consistent with a person on a dais, though the appearance cues are not fully distinctive.
