A man with long dark hair and a short beard smiles toward the camera at night while holding a tall silver ceremonial spear or staff in his right hand. He wears a red-brown garment draped over bare shoulders, a red wrist thread and a gold bracelet, plus small gold earrings and a vertical tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands an ornate silver-embossed panel or throne back with repoussé floral and figural relief. A gold-coloured pole stands at left, a hand holds it, and a bright white light glows at right. Faint figures are visible in the dark background. The man appears to be a person based on his long hair, adornments and ceremonial setting.
