A photograph of a staged performance with a figure standing at the centre of a large ornate golden ring, holding a trident-tipped staff across the body. The figure wears dark, tattered-looking ceremonial clothing with a patterned wrap and has long dark hair and a beard. Behind the ring, red and orange flame-like backdrop graphics rise through smoky haze. Ceremonial implements stand at left and centre: a large trident, a dark umbrella-like standard, a curved blade and a staff with a finial.
