A smiling man in a yellow turban decorated with a peacock-feather ornament and jeweled brooch, wearing a yellow wrap and a long red bead garland with pearl necklaces, holds a wooden flute with a peacock feather tucked near its end. Beside him on a wooden table sit a pink lotus flower and a small black microphone, with a plain pale wall and a wooden pillar behind. Appearance-based label: the figure resembles a Krishna-style performer, and the presenter is an appearance-based candidate, so the identity is uncertain; no printed name identifies him in the scene.
