The image depicts a man standing upright, holding an object resembling a carpenter's square with both hands. His head is encircled by a halo, and he possesses traditional facial features including a long, wavy beard and curly hair that falls to his shoulders. He wears a long, flowing robe with layered draping that covers his body and is gathered at the feet, which are visible and bare. There is no visible jewelry. The background is plain and unadorned, and the figure is identified by the text "S THOMA APOSTOLVS" at the bottom of the image.
