The image depicts a group of figures gathered around a tomb. There is an angel with a green and brown wing on the left, gesturing towards three haloed figures by the tomb. The tomb is detailed with intricate patterns and textiles, and the background features an elaborate border with golden floral patterns, similar to early Renaissance religious art.
