Seen from behind, a figure with very long dark braided hair tied up with a wide rust-red and orange wrap stands with one hand on the hip and the other holding a silver ceremonial staff with an ornate top. The person wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment with a rust-red vest, and beaded bracelets on the upper arm and wrist. Behind is a large painted or sculpted red-brown deity figure with multiple strands of pearl-like necklaces and armlets, and a stack of orange, pink and red tassels stands at the left edge. The scene looks like a staged theatrical or temple-style tableau rather than a crowd gathering.
