He carries in his right hand a fly whisk and in his left, which is extended out, a letter. He is barefoot, has a long mustache, and hair that just hits the bottom of the neck. He wears a white turban and a rope over his right shoulder. Underneath the depiction, written in cursive and black ink is: “Saees”. Company School.
