A performer on a stage stands in a warm red and yellow light, dressed as a deity-like figure with long curly dark hair, a forehead marking, and a heavy adornment of beads, bells and metallic ornaments across the chest, waist and arms. He holds a long staff or trident-like rod diagonally and rests his other hand on his hip, with red loose trousers and ankle bands.
