The image is divided into four oval panels, each featuring different people. In the panel marked "25 Aug," a figure faces left wearing a wide-brimmed hat and long robe, carrying a staff, with other similarly dressed figures in the background and the dome of a building visible. The panel labeled "26 Aug" shows a group of people in various poses; one figure in profile, wearing a halo, is escorted by others towards a structure, with another person gesturing towards the group. The "27 Aug" section presents a figure in profile facing left, also in a wide-brimmed hat and robe, reaching out towards a group of figures standing in front of a large architectural element like a column. The "28 Aug" panel features a bearded man with a halo standing and holding a book, wearing a robe, with another person kneeling at his feet and ancient-looking buildings in the background. Each scene contains specific elements such as hats and halos, suggesting figures of significance, set against background elements like buildings and columns.
