A man with long dark hair and a trimmed beard sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne carved with scrollwork and a circular arch backdrop. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned shawl over his shoulders and a leopard-print cloth behind him, with a gold chain at his neck and a white and red forehead mark. He dips his hand into a silver bowl with embossed patterns resting on a gold stand draped with a green banana leaf. Carved gold figures flank the throne on both sides.
