Description
The Chamber - decorated with royal paraphernalia, it has two entrances: one typically depicts the royal gate leading into the inner chamber of HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS (HRH) while the other is an entrance for the public. The elegantly designed royal seat is set majestically on the platform. Adjacent to this seat and placed near the wall is a cushioned bench. Two elephant tusks hang, crossing each other at the rear of the seat. Two long spears, each measuring about 7 feet and decorated with coloured leather thread, are held up, one on each side of the seat. Please write out the texts one long trumpet with three arums of various sizes. There are also a local piano and a couple of other musical instruments. Directly opposite the instruments, a well-decorated royal sword hangs on the wall. Next to the sword hangs the uniform of an army general, complete with the rank and medallion. Directly below the uniform, on the floor, is a pair of black boots with stockings sticking out from their bowels. A short rifle leans against the wall on its own. Directly above the uniform is a metal helmet. By the side of the uniform, strapping down from the wall, is a big black belt. A green army metal keg sits a few metres from the rifle and a torch lies at its base. Also, within the same setting, a royal walking stick lies on top of a rolled tarpaulin. At one side of the wall is a small regal bed-like iron chair; immediately after it, beside an armchair, is a trolley containing appetizing dishes, drinks and a basket of fruits.
