A seated man in rust-red and saffron-toned cloth sits cross-legged on a gold-framed throne draped with a tiger-print cloth, with a red mat and carpet beneath. He wears layered gold and beaded necklaces, a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, and a red dot on his forehead, with long hair falling to his shoulders. In the foreground, a glowing fire pit with burning logs and a flame rises, with a bronze bowl and blurred dark-clothed legs of an attendant in front. A small screen sits beside the throne. Dim wooden lattice screens form the background.
