The standing man wears a white long-sleeved shirt and an orange-red shawl with printed text, his eyes closed and head bowed. Behind them are golden lion-form armrests, a silver trident, garlands of yellow and purple flowers and a golden shrine backdrop. A woman in white is partially visible at the right edge.
