The image features four oval engravings within separate panels. The first panel is labeled "S. VICTOR MART." and dated 'April 12'. A man with a halo stands facing forward with one arm raised slightly, opposite another man by a column. The second panel is labeled "S. IVSTINVS PHILOSOP. MART." and dated 'April 13'. A man with a halo is shown in profile standing in a doorway offering a scroll to another man, while another figure kneels in the background. The third panel is labeled "SS. TIBVRTIVS ET VALERIA NVS" and dated 'April 14', showing a man kneeling beside another standing figure, with an angel-like figure holding a wreath from above, framed by clouds and architectural elements. The final panel, labeled "SS. BASILISSA ET ANASTAS." and dated ‘April 13’, depicts figures in a setting resembling stone ruins or a graveyard, with sunlight rays descending. The engravings depict religious or historical scenes with figures wearing halos, set against detailed landscapes and architecture without modern elements. Each panel is framed with simple lines, highlighting the oval centers of the scenes.
