In the foreground, a bare-chested man with white hair and beard, wearing an orange beaded necklace and a red-orange beaded headband, holds his hands out to a man in a red-orange turban and saffron-gold wrap who is adorned with a long gold chain and gold bangles and is offering or giving something in his palms.
