This image depicts a detailed scene with two seated figures, each holding a stone tablet, flanked by winged cherubs. The figure on the left's tablet is inscribed with "OMNIBUS IDEM," while the figure on the right's tablet is inscribed with "NOXIA INNOXIA QUE." The cherubs are in the center, one pointing towards an illuminated emblem above with the word "LIBERTAS." Below, the cherubs gesture towards a vase among several books, one open and marked with the date "MDCLXXXX." The scene is intricately detailed with rich textures in drapery, clouds, and figures.
