A staged photograph of a single standing figure in a red-orange draped garment with a red shawl over one shoulder, wearing layered beaded necklaces, a pearl-and-gold collar, dangling earrings, a forehead tilak and a jewelled headpiece. The figure holds a long staff in the right hand and a spear-like weapon with tassels in the left, set against a large ornate golden circular frame with a red-lit backdrop and smoky haze. The ornate painted pillar edge at left suggests a temple-style set. A small logo appears at upper left. Subject appearance and dress do not clearly match the a person cues, so no identification is made.
