A seated person in a rust-orange and gold-bordered wrap sits on an ornate gilded throne with a striped animal skin draped over its edge. Multiple strands of beaded necklaces and a gold chain adorn the chest, and a red tilak mark is on the forehead. Smoke or steam drifts around the figure in a dark hall with a small electric heater and a carpet at the lower left. Appearance cues do not clearly establish a specific identity, so no identification is made.
