A seated figure on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion receives a paper from a bare-chested attendant in orange cloth and an orange turban. The seated man wears a maroon turban, a maroon-and-orange cloth, a white flower garland with a pink and red garland, and a gold necklace. A silver trident stands beside the throne. To the left, a figure in orange holds a bouquet of flowers and a plate. Behind them is a carved wooden door and painted pillars with colourful bands. The scene looks like a staged ritual or initiation setting. The seated man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, and the page does not place a person at this event.
