A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved back, framed by garlands of yellow, red and white flowers, performs a namaste gesture with palms pressed together and eyes lowered. The person wears a purple turban, a pink satin top, a pale peach shawl draped over the shoulders, a yellow lower garment with a brown sash, layered beaded necklaces and gold bangles. A peacock-feather fan stands at one side and a pink lotus rests on the throne base. The throne has cushioned armrests and a backdrop of pink and magenta fabric. The figure is alone in the frame, appearing as a seated person being honoured rather than a clear appearance-based match, so identity is uncertain.2009-12-19December 19 20092009-12-19December 19 20092009-12-19December 19 20092009-12-19A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved high back, decorated with marigold and rose garlands and a peacock-feather fan at the side.
