Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved repoussé panels, backed by a gold-framed relief of deities. The seated man wears an orange saffron robe, a gold ceremonial crown, a white and red flower garland, and a gold necklace; he smiles while sprinkling pink and yellow petals and holds a silver sword. Red and orange tiger-striped cushions flank him, and white and blue fan-like decorations stand behind the throne. Appearance is consistent with the page's a person context, but the identity remains uncertain from appearance alone.
