A bald figure in an orange-saffron robe and white flower garland with red and orange blossoms sits in an ornately carved wooden throne, shown in profile facing left. The figure's hands rest on a small offering or bouquet of red and orange flowers. A wall behind is painted teal-grey brick, and a carved wooden pillar and patterned drapery frame the scene. A small trident-shaped ornament with red decoration stands behind the throne, and a name plate sits in front of the seat. The figure appears to be a statue or lifelike figure rather than a physical person, given its waxy finish and fixed pose.
