A seated man with a full dark beard and eyes closed sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved scrollwork. He wears a pink-red robe with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders, a white beaded necklace and a pendant. A younger person in orange ochre robes leans in from the left, offering a woven basket of fruit. Another hand from the right reaches toward the basket. Behind the throne, orange and gold fabrics and a gilded panel fill the background. The seated man has long swept-back hair absent here; his appearance shows a full beard and shaved head, so the identification is uncertain and he is described by role as the seated figure on the throne receiving the offering.
