A long-haired man in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne on a stage, holding a long slender stick or brush to his forehead while a silver staff with a finial rises beside him. Bare shoulders show white marks on his skin. A silver lectern stands to the right. A seated audience fills the foreground and back rows, many in white and orange clothing, with stage lights, a tripod and a red-and-yellow backdrop behind. The man's long swept-back hair, orange robe and ceremonial setting match the a person cues, but appearance alone does not confirm identity.
