Visual Description
A crowned king stands by a tall stone throne carved with a large butterfly motif, holding a long sword in his right hand. He wears a fur-trimmed cloak over lighter garments and a patterned tunic, and a red cloth is draped over the steps before him. The scene opens onto a pale sky with scattered birds and a distant treeline, and an ornate blue floral border frames the image. The king’s posture is upright and deliberate, with clear, clean lines in the architecture and throne.
