page from the Apocalypse (The Locusts with the Angel of the Abyss and The Sixth Trumpet)
The image depicts two scenes. The top scene shows two men on winged horses; the one on the left has a human body and bird wings and wears a red hat and a long tunic; the one on the right has a horse body and large bird wings and a humanoid rider wearing a short tunic and cap; both horses have long tails. The bottom scene shows a man in a long robe and halo holding a banderole with writing; to his right are four armoured men with swords, one of whom holds a large flag; one of the men is on the ground. The background of both scenes appears to be ground. The whole image is drawn on what appears to be old paper. There are several blocks of text in a language that appears to be Latin.
