A photograph, rotated sideways, of a bearded man with long dark dreadlocked hair seated on an ornate golden throne with orange-red upholstery. He is bare-chested, wearing a rust-orange shawl draped over his body and a red thread bracelet on his wrist, with his right hand extended palm-up and a ring on one finger, eyes lowered. In the foreground at left is a golden ornamental carving of a deity figure. Behind him a second, paler figure is partly visible. The a person cues here are the long dreadlocks, orange shawl and distinctive adornments on a throne setting; the candidate is shown in person and the appearance is identified only from those cues.
