A performer dressed as a fierce goddess figure stands on a red throne-like seat with an ornate gold arched backdrop, lit in green and orange stage light. She wears a leopard-print blouse and red skirt, layered with metal bell ornaments, chain and beaded necklaces, and beaded bracelets. Her left hand grips a trident, and she poses with the other hand on her hip, smiling. A leopard-print cloth covers the platform edge in front of her. The person is a single physical figure; the backdrop and throne are part of the staging.
