A smiling man in a loose orange-saffron wrap stands in front of an ornately carved red sandstone temple facade with a wooden-looking door and intricate bas-reliefs of figures and scrolling motifs, a classical Khmer style setting. He raises his right hand in a waving gesture. His hair is dark and swept back, and he wears no visible crown, rudraksha mala or ceremonial jewellery. The wrap covers his left shoulder and leaves his right shoulder bare.
