At the top sits a tiered carved wooden or copper crown-like finial with bell-like pendants, a small red cloth hanging from it, and a pointed copper finial on the right side. A thin orange rope runs down the pole, and a partial view of another copper finial and a dark metal structure appears at the right edge.
