The image is divided into four oval sections, featuring full-body illustrations of individuals. In the top left section, Saint Hippolytus stands holding a palm leaf, wearing a long robe. The background shows buildings and people with spears. The top right section features Saint Radegund in a gown, a cape, and a crown, against a background of architectural structures and small figures. In the bottom left section, Saint Cassian stands with a halo and a cloth draped over his torso, surrounded by smaller figures with canes. The bottom right section features a seated female figure marked 'Sathanais' looking upwards with beams of light shining on her from the sky. She is seated at a loom with small rural buildings in the background. Each frame has an inscription at the top and a blank space underneath.
