Four female figures depicting the royal virtues and holding symbols of Royal Power (scepter, sword, shield with King's motto, globus cruciger and so on), are two by two at sides of the Royal throne decorated with crowned arms of Kalmar Union. The throne is behind a crowned baldaquin made with an ermine mantle. Three lions (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) on the steps to the throne.
