Close-up photograph of a seated figure on a gold-and-velvet throne seat. The visible person wears saffron-orange clothing with a gold-bordered band at the waist and a red-and-gold patterned cloth draped over the knee. The raised bare forearm and hand are extended outward in a gesture. A brass oil lamp stands in the blurred background against a dark backdrop, and white flower petals rest on the red cushion. Only the arm, hand and lap are visible, so no face or identifying features show.
