The image consists of four illustrations within circular frames. The top left illustration shows a standing person in a dress with a halo above their head, curly hair, and a serene expression, holding a palm leaf and accompanied by a lion. The top right image portrays a hooded figure with a long beard, reading from a book or scroll, and holding a staff, with a cityscape and hills in the background. The bottom left illustration shows two figures: a man in a mitre holding a palm leaf and a younger man also holding a palm leaf, with additional figures in the background. The bottom right scene features a person engaged with a lion near a tall structure, wearing a flowing garment with wavy hair. Surrounding each frame, there is blank space for inscriptions or captions.
