Looking up from below at a copper-clad cylindrical post topped with a golden finial, draped with a rust-brown cloth banner and a cream cloth being pulled upward. Green leaves and white flower garlands with red accents wrap the base of the post under a clear blue sky, with a palm tree behind. Two men in white ritual clothes with flower garlands stand at the lower right, one lifting the cloth; their faces are not described. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
