A seated woman in a maroon turban and maroon garment holds a tall silver staff with a pointed finial, the first of two items in a ceremonial scene. She wears layered gold beaded necklaces, a pendant, bangles and an armlet, and sits in a carved silver-and-wood chair against a red backdrop hung with beaded tassels and small figurines. A blue-and-white striped parasol and trees are behind her, and a person in white is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial adornments, but her appearance does not clearly match a known identity, so the identity is uncertain.
