The image shows a group of individuals standing close together. The central figure, a young woman, holds panpipes and has loose wavy hair. Four other individuals surround her: a man with curly hair holding a sword, a youthful figure with long hair, an older man in a mitre reading a book, and a woman holding a vase with long hair. They are all dressed in flowing robes. Four angels above them play musical instruments while another rests its head on folded arms. The background has clouds and the ground has books and musical instruments.
