A seated figure in orange robes sits on a small wooden stool before an ornate gold-embossed backrest, beneath colourful Tibetan-style prayer flags strung across a tent in a high, rocky landscape. The person has long dark wavy hair, a white and red forehead mark, and wears a dark rudraksha mala with brass bells, a gold beaded necklace and an orange top. They hold a tall silver staff with a rounded finial in one hand and smile downward. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. At the lower left, small brass pots with yellow fruit sit on a patterned carpet. Partially visible people in orange clothing sit at the frame edges, and belongings lie on the ground behind.
