A man seated cross-legged on an ornate carved wooden throne upholstered with leopard-print fabric, in front of deep red draped curtains. He wears a crescent-shaped silver ornament and a leopard-print headpiece, a saffron-orange garment with gold border, layered rudraksha malas and a pendant necklace. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and holds a silver staff topped with a serpent-like form and bells. The sitter's appearance, with long swept-back hair, crown-like headwear, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial jewellery, is a probable match for a person, but identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
