A male dancer performs on a red stage before an ornate gilded wooden backdrop carved with scrolling foliage, lattice panels and rows of elephants and horses. He wears a black long-sleeved top, a white sash, a red and gold pleated skirt with a gold belt, ankle bracelets and dark face makeup, and raises one arm high while the other hand rests on his hip. He stands alone in the frame, so no a person candidate is visible.
