The image depicts a full-length figure of an angelic being standing upright and facing the viewer. The figure has a gentle expression and wavy hair parted in the middle, falling around the shoulders. The figure is adorned in a flowing garment with detailed sleeves and holds a large, ornate shield with a complex heraldic design. One large wing is visible on the figure's back. A long, ribbon-like scroll with text is around the figure's feet, and the background is plain.
