A photograph taken from a low angle of a man standing on a stage in front of a pink draped curtain. He wears a rust-orange garment wrapped around his body with leopard-print panels and a gold-edged border, a gold-trimmed waist sash, and red beaded bracelets on his upper arms and wrists. His long dark hair is swept back and topped with a gold ornament with a red stone. Overhead stage lights and metal truss hang above him, with a white fan unit at the lower left. The page excerpt names this as a December 2017 session, but no caption is visible in the image. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's stated presence but is not a definitive match, so identity is uncertain. One person is visible.
