A man seated on an ornate silver-and-jewelled throne with red, green and blue gem inlay, wearing a maroon-red upper garment, a tiger-striped cloth over his lap, a gold chain, a gold necklace and layered yellow marigold garlands. He has a vertical tilak on his forehead, long swept-back hair and a beard, and he smiles while holding a brass tray of dried red chillies. The throne's silver filigree panels, a silver elephant motif at lower left and a hanging string of tassels are visible behind him. The man resembles a person by his distinctive ceremonial adornments, garlands and the silver throne, but the image does not confirm that identity. Only the seated man and a partly visible hand holding the tray are physically present.
