A dimly lit stage shows a seated figure in red-toned light against dark red drapes. A tall silver trident stands at left, its shaft wrapped with flowers, with a small pot-shaped vessel near its top. The seated figure wears a red crown-like headpiece with a crescent ornament, a red garment, layered beaded necklaces and garlands, and sits on a raised flower-covered platform. The figure appears to be a statue or depiction rather than a living person, and no physical person is visible.
