At the front centre, a figure sits on an ornate gold-trimmed throne wearing a dark cap, an orange-red robe and a red-beaded garland, one hand raised in blessing. Two large screens on the upper left and right show a similar figure in a dark cap and red robe. A gold ceremonial staff stands near the throne.
