A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion beneath. The central figure wears a rust-brown robe, a gold-toned ceremonial necklace, gold armbands and a long multicolour flower garland of yellow, pink and white blossoms. Long dark hair is swept up under a crown-like headpiece, with a white forehead marking, and the feet are bare. A golden trident stands to the left and a silver staff to the right. Behind is a gilded carved backdrop with a sculpted hand and lion figures. Matching the page's cues, this is a person seated in a ceremonial role on the throne, with the figure physically present.
