A young boy with short dark hair and a blue-and-white bird-shaped sticker on his left cheek stands in the foreground of a dimly lit hall, holding a bundle of shiny yellow fabric in both hands. He wears a white shirt with black striped and printed patterns. Behind him, a raised stage with dark floor and red-brown steps holds a gilded throne-like seat with a red cushion and an ornate gold stand, where a person in white ritual dress is partly visible. A small round brass or orange-rimmed bowl sits on the floor at left, and a framed white sheet with black printed imagery is at right.
