A large seated audience faces a figure on an ornate white-and-red throne in a bright hall with white draped walls and orange banners. The figure, seen from behind, has long dark dreadlocks wrapped in an orange-red headband and wears an orange-brown garment; a silver trident stands upright beside the throne.
