[[Photograph of man seated on checkerboard patterned floor, gazing slightly down and to the left. The man has a large bound turban crowned with feathers, and has a large brushed out beard and mustache. His forehead appears to have been whitened, with the eyes being accentuated with dark liner. His legs are largely tucked under his clothes but he appears to be seated cross-legged, holding a sword across his lap with both hands. He is wearing at least three visible necklaces, including one with a  large circular elaborately pierced pendant. He appears to have a drop spindle held against the left side of his body, and is dressed in layers of clothing including a rough overcoat. There is a bell tied around his waist, and what appears to be the pelt of a large spotted cat, such as a leopard.  ]]
