A seated man in a rust-orange and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gilded throne with a carved arched back. Two golden lion statues flank the throne, which is draped with red and tiger-striped cushions. Multiple long gold beaded necklaces and a gold bracelet are worn; a red bindi marks his forehead. A small green parrot perches on the right armrest. Colourful tassels hang from the top corners of a dark backdrop. The man is smiling and his right hand rests on his lap. Appearance cues (shaved head, ceremonial gold necklaces, saffron-orange clothing, enthroned seating) are present, but the figure is not confidently identified from appearance alone, so only the printed caption is used as evidence.
