A performer stands on a stage in front of a flowing orange and yellow fabric backdrop with red velvet curtains behind. He wears a leopard-print garment with rows of brass bells across the chest and waist, a belt of dark beads, and beaded bracelets on his arms. He holds a silver staff with small hanging bells in one hand and rests the other hand on his hip. Long dark wavy hair falls past his shoulders, and a red tilak marks his forehead. A gold ornate panel is visible at his side. Whether this is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the identity is recorded as unsure.
