Outdoor photo under a colourful striped cloth canopy with a rocky hillside behind it. A person in orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a garland of yellow and red flowers, stands at right in profile, holding a brass plate or lamp tray in one hand and looking up toward the hills. Green palm fronds and shrubs fill the lower foreground. The figure is seen from behind and the side, so no face is clearly visible; the appearance of an orange-clad figure with a flower garland is consistent with a person candidate, but the identity is uncertain.
