The image depicts multiple figures surrounding a central baby lying in a manger. The individuals around the infant are in various positions, some kneeling and others standing. The person closest to the baby has shoulder-length hair and wears flowing garments. Surrounding individuals wear long robes or tunics and some hold staffs. Some figures have halos. One figure in the background wears a headpiece. Seated and leaning figures show their focus on the baby. Above the manger is a stable-like structure with a beam and roof, and angels in the sky with rays of light, alongside a banner with text.
