The image shows a full-length figure standing on a small sphere in a dynamic pose. The person has a bearded face, long hair, and is holding a staff with a cross and banner. They wear a draped garment and are surrounded by cherubic faces and wings against a cloud-filled background. Above them, a dove radiates light. The scene is enclosed within an oval design with inscriptions along the inner edges.
