On the ground, in front of the throne, there are several objects scattered: an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time; a sphere, possibly representing the world or power; and what appears to be a broken object that could be interpreted as a symbol of defeat or mortality. Additionally, there is a reptilian creature at the bottom of the picture, possibly a crocodile or dragon, which could have symbolic meaning such as danger, power, or treachery.
