A man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl sits on an ornate silver throne, wearing a white turban with gold trim, a red-and-yellow marigold garland and a gold chain. He holds a tall golden staff topped with a carved finial in his right hand and rests his left hand on a golden armrest. Under the open sky, the figure looks off to the side, and a dark-sleeved hand appears at the lower right edge.
