A photograph of an ornate seat sculpted as a coiled cobra, with a hooded serpent head rising behind a brown cushioned seat. The cobra's hood is painted orange and yellow with dark dotted markings and a central white and blue stripe, topped by a crown-like row of gold finials. Its coiled body in yellow, orange and brown forms the base, resting on a pale turquoise lotus-style plinth with red feet. Behind it hangs a large printed photograph of a seated man in white clothing playing a drum, with his bare arms and a bangle visible. The setting is a plain whitewashed wall beside metal scaffolding and a floor. No people are physically present in the scene.
