A performer stands on an ornate gilded golden throne on a red-draped stage, with a large flowing orange-yellow silk cloth billowing behind him. He wears a leopard-print tunic with a belt and bandolier of tubular brass-tipped beads and wooden rudraksha-style beads, black trousers with yellow trim, and wooden bead bracelets on his arms. His long dark hair is loose and he holds a tall silver-banded staff in his left hand while his right hand rests on his hip. Two people are not visible; the single figure is a dramatic costumed stage presentation. Visible identity cues are appearance-based and tentative, so the figure is labelled as a possible candidate only.
