A golden statue of a standing male figure, bare-chested with a draped cloth at the waist, is being bathed. A hand holding a gold pot pours water over its head, and water streams down the golden body onto a stone base. The statue has a smooth face and raised right hand in a blessing gesture. Behind it, purple and white cloth and yellow and purple flower garlands form a backdrop. A gold bangle and rings are visible on the pouring hand.
