Before him stands a silver-rimmed brass plate of red and yellow flowers and small silver oil lamps, beside a wooden elephant figure and a brass tray on a pink cloth. The image is a depiction on a flat cutout, not a live person.

In front sits a wooden elephant carving, a book, and a brass tray holding a pair of silver lamps, a flower garland and orange and red roses and marigolds on a red cloth.
