A life-size figure of a bare-chested, dark-complexioned man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-orange tilak on the forehead, a gold chain necklace and a rope sash over the shoulder, wearing a leopard-print garment with metal bells. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and stands before a large gold-patterned arched backdrop in misty light. This appears to be a statue or sculpted figure rather than a living person, and the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
