A performer seen from behind stands before a large orange fire on a dark stage, holding a silver trident with a small drum-shaped ornament and a patterned fabric tassel. The figure wears a rust-orange wrap, a leopard-print headband with a crescent ornament, long dark hair flowing down the back, and beaded bracelets on the upper arm and wrist. The figure appears to be a deity-style dramatic depiction of Shiva, shown as a costumed performance piece rather than an identified person.
