In the centre stands a life-size figure in a rust-orange robe holding a staff, displayed as a statue or effigy rather than a living person, in front of a blue and gold painted backdrop with a red and gold trident-topped ornament. Brass and gold tridents stand on pedestals on both sides of the stage, hanging brass bells and lamps above, and a colourful patterned carpet covers the platform. No physical people are visible.
