About this work

This painting depicts a man with a long beard, wearing a red robe over a blue tunic, standing in front of a blue background. He is holding a scroll in his left hand and pointing to it with his right hand. The man's head is surrounded by a gold halo, and there is some text in an unknown language above and to the right of him. The painting is framed in a gold, ornate frame that is shaped like a circle with a cross on top. The frame appears to be old and worn, with some of the gold paint chipped off. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
