In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange cloth holds up a lit flame or lamp toward the chariot. Golden standing statues of figures stand beside the chariot, and a tree with green leaves is at left. Green and yellow fairy lights outline the platform. No clearly identifiable living person beyond the lamp-bearer is visible.
