A bearded man with eyes closed sits in meditation on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions. He wears a tall gold crown, an orange-saffron robe and shawl, multiple gold beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, plus gold armbands and bangles. A silver staff rests in his left hand. Thick garlands of white jasmine, yellow, red and green flowers drape over his shoulders and chest and hang to his lap, and a red flower garland is placed at his feet. A distinctive appearance-based label applies: Swamiji (probable), seated in the throne-presence position with saffron robes, gold crown and ornate gold necklaces. Silver repousse panels decorate the background.
