A man sits cross-legged on a carved wooden throne with gold-embossed panels and a leopard-print cushion, hands clasped in his lap. He wears a rust-orange robe draped over one shoulder, a gold-buckled orange waistband, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and gold earrings, with a white forehead marking and red bindi. His long braided hair falls over his chest. Behind him stands a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva statue within a flame arch, with a red wall and small bronze figures nearby. Appearance cues are consistent with a person, though identity remains uncertain.
