A photograph of a man seated on a red upholstered throne before a deep red curtain and an ornate gold carved backdrop, speaking into a clip-on microphone on a boom stand. He wears a rust-brown turban adorned with a yellow feather plume, a jewelled brooch and a crescent ornament, plus gold earrings, a heavy gold and jewelled necklace and a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders. He smiles while gesturing with one raised hand, and a silver staff with carved detailing is visible at the left edge. The setting suggests a discourse stage.
