A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hooded canopy and carved lion-like supports, wearing a rust-brown robe and a pale pink-and-white flower garland. He smiles with hands resting on his lap, and a dark tiger-skin cloth is spread beneath the seat. Two gold standing attendant figures flank the throne, one holding a fan-like object, and a golden ornamental stand with a long lamp or staff is at right. Colourful striped rugs cover the floor in front. The swept-back long hair and ornate gold throne setting suggest a person in an appearance-based sense, seated in a stage-like ritual setting.
