The image shows three men's upper bodies. The central figure is seated with his head tilted slightly downward. He has long hair and a beard and wears a crown of thorns. He appears serene. On either side are two men, one wearing a robe and gesturing, the other in armor and a helmet, holding a stick. A radiant light emanates from the central man's head. The background is dark, and there is Latin text at the bottom of the image.
