A man stands on a dark stage beside a large white stone deity statue. He wears a red headwrap, long dark hair swept back, gold necklaces and bangles, a red sleeveless top and a leopard-print wrap. His right arm is extended outward toward a golden trident standing on the stage, and he smiles. The figure's ornate red-and-gold dress and long hair match appearance cues of a person, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone. Golden kalasha-like ornaments sit at the stage base.
