A seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne holds a tall silver staff topped with a finial and smiles toward the audience. He wears a rust-orange draped garment over one shoulder, a long dark braid, a thin gold necklace and a red bead bracelet. Beside him stands a silver lectern and a second silver staff, with a silver peacock figure at the base of the throne. Dense seated crowds in orange, white and pink saris and robes fill a tent hung with red and yellow drapes, and a large screen appears at upper right. The man's appearance with long swept hair, orange clothing and ornamental cues suggests a person seated in a teaching setting, though this is uncertain.
