A large carved wooden throne-style seat stands outdoors on bare sandy ground beneath coconut palms. The seat has a thick plank base with cabriole-like legs and a tall backrest of rough-edged wooden slabs, with a yellow painted panel behind the cushion area. Thatched palm-roof huts and a woven reed fence sit in the background, and orange marigold-like flowers grow at the left. No people are visible.
