The Banyan by artist is a long, orange robe with short sleeves. The robe is made of a fabric with a pattern of small, white designs. A seam runs down the center and there are seams on either side. The robe is A-line shaped, wider at the bottom than at the top. It has a small opening at the top and appears to be made of silk or a similar material. The background of the image is white.
