Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-red garment, a long green-and-red flower garland, white flowers in his hair and a red forehead mark.

A gold trident stands at left and a silver trident at right near a gilded pedestal with fruit. a person is not confidently established from appearance here: the seated man is a candidate with a crown of flowers, garlands and gold jewellery, but the face and presentation are not clear enough to confirm identity.
