A smiling man sits before an ornate gold throne-back with intricate repoussé scrollwork. He wears a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, a thick gold necklace of beaded gold ornaments, a gold armlet and gold earrings. A white tilak and red bindi mark his forehead, and his long dark hair is swept back. A painted pillar with orange, pink and green bands stands at the left edge. The figure is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), seated in person with a shawl, gold ornaments and long swept-back hair, though the image itself carries no printed name.
