A bearded man in a black turban with a gold crown and a crescent ornament sits on a leopard-skin covered seat between two golden lion figures, wearing a long white and gold garland, a rudraksha mala with a heavy gold necklace, and a red-brown robe. A silver trident stands to his left. Two people in the lower foreground, one with dreadlocks, are partly visible.
