A dimly lit stage bathed in blue and violet light with haze drifting across the scene. A single standing figure with very long dark hair falling down the back, seen from behind, holds a staff or rod and stands before a painted backdrop of a forest with a large tree on the left, foliage, and a crowned deity-like figure painted in the background. Low metal railings line the stage edges and a small cylindrical object sits at the front of the stage. The figure's presentation is not clear enough to establish identity, so a person's presence is uncertain.
