An open book with a black cover displays two pages. The left page contains a full-page illustration of a crucifixion scene. The scene depicts Jesus on the cross with a halo around his head. He is naked and has his arms stretched out. A few figures stand below the cross. On the left, a woman wearing a black shawl over a pink dress and a halo appears to be grieving. A man with a halo wearing a blue and red robe stands on the right. Other figures with halos in various colored robes surround them. The background behind Jesus on the cross is blue with white clouds. A decorative border around the scene features colorful interlacing patterns with gold accents. The right page shows an illustrated column with intricate floral patterns and small figures. The column is blue with gold, orange and green decorations. The background behind the book is gray.
