The image shows a man with a long beard standing upright. He has a serious expression, a crown, long hair, and a flowing robe. He is holding a staff in one hand and a banner in the other, which reads "IHS" in a sunburst. Next to him is a heraldic panel on a wall with a coat of arms. In the background, there is a landscape with hills, trees, and a church steeple visible through an arched window under a cloudy sky.
