A man with long dark hair, a red-orange robe and a small forehead mark sits centrally on a white throne-like seat, one hand raised in greeting, a red-and-blue patterned cushion beneath his bare feet.

Behind them an orange draped cloth holds a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in white garlanded with marigolds and red flowers.
