Looking out over the columned walk below, the tower's second floor balcony provides a view of the antechamber's regal decay in its grim totality. Before the overlook sits a heavy striking cobra statue. A length of black cord is knotted about its neck, trailing over the railing's edge and pulled tight by a weight from below. The walkway curves past the statue toward the next level, its sandstone tiles blanketed by a gold and green runner of raw silk.
