A photograph inside a room with a tiled wall, fluorescent lights and a ceiling fan. A seated figure in a red-orange robe with a gold crown, white and red flower garlands and a gold necklace leans forward and holds a silver staff or sceptre topped with a bird-head finial, held up to the face of a standing figure. The standing figure wears a tall gold crown, a white-and-red flower garland, a long beaded necklace and a red-orange robe, and reaches out to steady the staff. Ornate gold thrones and a gold-framed chair sit behind them. A partly visible person stands at the back and a dark banner with a portrait hangs on the right wall.
