The image shows two men from the waist up. The man on the left has a short, curly beard, and wavy hair that falls to his ears. The other man has longer, slightly wavy hair and no beard. Both men have halos around their heads. They are wearing robes. The man on the left holds a large key and a book, while the man on the right holds several books. The background features intricate carvings resembling branches and leaves framing their heads. Both figures are in front of a wooden panel with detailed carvings. There is an inscription in Gothic-style lettering at the bottom.
