The image shows an upper-torso portrait of a man positioned facing forward. He has a round face with prominent, heavy-lidded eyes, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair is long, thick, and curly, cascading down past his shoulders. He is wearing an ornate garment with a decorative shoulder cover that features a large, detailed face embellishment. Around him is an oval frame containing text. The background behind the man is plain.
