A seated man in a rust-red robe with a bare shoulder, long dark hair, a beard and white forehead markings smiles and extends his right hand toward a shaved-headed person in red at the right edge, who leans in with white forehead marking. A leopard-print cushion sits beside the seated man, and a carved wooden screen with circular perforations stands behind. Two more people in red stand in the background, one with a red garment. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment, in a temple-like hall.
