The image shows a bearded, elderly man standing with a slight bend. He holds an open book in his left hand and a staff in his right hand, which touches a serpent. He has distinct facial features and long, wavy hair and is wearing a full robe. His feet are visible, and he has a halo around his head with outward lines. In the lower right corner, there is a patch of grass and two serpents. The background is plain, with the initials "HGB" on the right.
