The image is a full-body illustration of a bearded, crowned man seated within an almond-shaped frame. The man holds a scepter in his right hand and rests his left hand on his knee. He has a long beard, long hair flowing beneath the crown, and wears a flowing robe. Above him, an eagle is perched on the almond shape. Surrounding him are smaller figures in armor. In the background, there are rolling hills and distant structures. The border is simple, and the inscription "IVPITER XXXVI" is visible below.
