A smiling man with a shaved-looking head and a sandalwood-and-vibhuti forehead mark sits on an ornate throne-like seat decorated with silver-toned embossed patterns and inset red, green and blue gems. He wears a maroon-red shawl, a long gold beaded necklace, a gold pendant, and a thick yellow marigold garland. A tiger-striped cushion rests beside him, and his hand rests on the armrest. A silver elephant-head ornament is visible at the lower left, and a white fan sits in the corner. The person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is described as a seated devotee-honoured figure.
