On the right —in the archival and replicant murals— Hapkanasouane (Ravan) is descending from the sky to seize the kneeling figure of Nang Sida, while on the left, Phralak’s ally, the King of the Vultures, frames Hapkanasouane and Sida in flight. Ravan throws Sida’s magical ring at Phagna Khout, breaking his wings, and he crashes to earth, dying.
