A seated man in orange-saffron robes with his palms pressed together in prayer, eyes lowered. He has a shaved head with white horizontal tilak lines on his forehead and white stripes on his arms and chest. A gold bead necklace hangs on his chest and a gold bracelet is on his wrist. Before him is a silver bowl on a tray. Behind him is a carved wooden chair and a wall with red and white vertical stripes, with green plants at the side. The chair and clothing suggest a ritual setting, but no visible cue establishes that this man is a person, so his identity is uncertain.
