Close-up photograph of a man seated with eyes lowered, wearing a pale yellow turban with a silver-threaded border and a matching yellow shawl draped over a bare shoulder. He wears a heavy gold necklace of large embossed beads separated by dark bands, with a fine gold chain looped across it, and a red-brown tilak on the forehead. The background is a dense arrangement of white and purple flowers with yellow blooms in horizontal bands, and above them ornate gold metalwork. The turban, shawl and gold beads mark him as a formally adorned figure; the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the face alone does not settle it, so identity is uncertain.
