A single standing figure in an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment with rust-coloured trim wraps stands before an ornate gold backdrop. The figure wears a long dark wig of curly hair, a yellow bindi-like ornament on the forehead, dark beaded armlets and a belt of rows of brass bells and dark beads. The right hand grips a silver trident with a crescent-shaped top and a red stone, held upright in front of the chest. The left hand rests on the hip. This appears to be a costumed performer or a depiction of a deity form, with clothing and trident indicating Shiva iconography, and no clearly readable text.
