The scene depicts a multi-tiered ceremonial wooden sculpture, likely located in a public or institutional building in Accra, Ghana. No individuals are present. The sculpture stands centrally against a light-colored, horizontally-veined tiled wall and rests on a light-colored tiled floor. The sculpture's uppermost component is a curved, dark brown wooden stool, characteristic of a traditional Akan stool, featuring light-colored etched patterns on its concave top surface and sides. This stool is supported by a cylindrical, segmented column below it, which displays a geometric pattern of red, black, and white diamonds or triangles. A carved white element, resembling a coiled snake head, is visible at the top of this column, beneath the stool. Flanking the central column on a lower, rectangular platform are two carved wooden lion figures. Both lions are depicted in a crouching pose, facing forward with open mouths revealing teeth and tongues, and feature brown fur, orange manes, and light-colored faces. The platform they rest on is dark-colored with a subtle checkered texture and has a gold-colored decorative border. Beneath this platform, forming the base of the sculpture, are sculpted elements in green and red, resembling large palm fronds and clusters of red palm nuts or similar fruits. These elements are supported by a broader, dark-brown wooden base with curved sides and a wide, rectangular border decorated with intricate patterns in gold and dark wood, resting directly on the floor. The overall piece exhibits traditional Ghanaian artistic influences.
