The image shows the upper body of a seated woman in profile, looking to the left. Her head is slightly turned towards the viewer, revealing a detailed face with wavy hair cascading beneath a headpiece adorned with feathers. She wears intricate clothing, including richly patterned fabric and a cloak fastened with a decorative brooch. She holds a scroll in one hand with the inscription “SIBILLA DELFICHA,” surrounded by other scrolls or banners bearing inscriptions like “ABSQUE HUMANA CORRUPTIONE VIRGINE” and “NARCETVR PROPHETA.” The background features a rocky surface and additional text at the bottom of the image.
