A smiling man stands at the right in profile, wearing a tall fan-pleated deep red turban with gold trim and a small white stone ornament, a red dot on his forehead, a red shawl draped over bare shoulders, heavy gold beaded necklaces, and gold armlets and bangles. He lifts one hand in a mudra-like gesture. Behind him is a warm orange and white backdrop, with a dark red curtain and a wooden panel on the left and a dark head in the lower left foreground. The turban, gold ornaments and red shawl give him a distinctive ceremonial presentation, so he is a person in person.
