Some of them are holding weapons, such as swords and spears. In the background, there are buildings, including a large dome-shaped structure. Above the scene, there is a figure with a halo surrounded by clouds and rays of light. The artwork is signed with text at the bottom. The text reads "M. B. Pauli Appos."
