He has a dark mustache and a thin, yet full, dark beard. He wears a turban of decorative cloth tied with a green and white band, a long white robe (jama) with orange flowers, a waist sash (patka) with decorative ends, and red and orange boots with gold decoration. Tucked into his waist sash is a punch-dagger (katar). His elaborate dress suggests his princely status. Hanging from his gold saddle is a red quiver full of arrows and a green recurved bow. The prince holds the green reins in his left hand and a whip in his right. He rides a brown horse with a white muzzle. Its mouth is agape and its front legs are in the air.
