The carved wooden seat has a tall, scalloped back, round armrests and an ornate painted frieze with floral scrolls and rosettes in red, cream and gold tones. A loose carved panel leans against its side. Beside it stands a blue plastic chair, a blue gas cylinder with red hose, and a blue bucket. No people are visible. The image is a workshop or construction photo of the seat, not a depiction of anyone sitting in it.
