A smiling man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a dark turban-like bun, a white horizontal band on his forehead, and a full dark beard sits on an ornate silver-trimmed chair. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned shawl over bare shoulders and holds a microphone in his hands. In front of him on a wooden tray are three brass bowls with spoons. Behind him stands a bronze dancing figure sculpture and a carved stone pillar, with a leopard-print cushion at left. Whether this man is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so no in-person identification is given.
