A seated figure in a red-and-orange robe wears a dark turban-style headwrap and layered white and orange flower garlands, with a red rudraksha-style necklace, raising one hand in greeting on a gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion. Its carved gold back is hung with white jasmine-garland drapes. A woman in a black top and patterned leggings walks at left beside a tall brass oil lamp and a trident. At right, a woman in white with a red shawl and patterned skirt stands beside a devotee in a white dhoti with hands in namaste, and another man in white stands nearby. The setting suggests a ceremonial darshan or pada puja. The figure is presented as a person based on the turban, garlands and saffron-red robe, so the a person value is unsure.
