Close photograph of a seated figure holding a tall silver staff topped with a finely engraved silver bird, its beak holding a small red bead. The figure wears a maroon and red brocade garment with gold floral embroidery and a heavy gold necklace, and has several rings on the hand gripping the staff, including green-stoned pieces. Behind is a dense backdrop of yellow, white and magenta flowers arranged in an arch, with an orange cloth draped over a tan cushioned armrest. Only a hand, arm and torso are visible; no face appears in frame, so no identification is made.
