A smiling man seated on a red velvet throne with gold filigree behind him, speaking into a microphone on a thin stand. He wears a large maroon turban decorated with a yellow feather, a jewelled brooch, a crescent-moon ornament and gemstone pins, with a red tilak on his forehead. He has a long dark beard, dark hair, gold earrings and heavy gold necklaces over bare shoulders. Appearance is consistent with a person in a ceremonial turban, but the image is a single portrait with no caption establishing identity.
