Photograph from behind of a person standing before a crowd at an evening event, wearing a white turban with gold-brown banded trim, pearl-like beaded ornaments and a tassel-edged fringe at the back. Long dark wavy hair falls below the turban over a white garment. The figure is turned away from the camera, appearing to face the audience. Behind, a dense crowd of people fills the lower frame, with stage lights and a patterned ceiling above. Appearance-based cues are a turban with ornate trim and long hair, but the face is not visible, so identity is uncertain.
