The image features four circular vignette illustrations. In the first vignette, there are two full-bodied figures standing. The person on the left holds a long staff with a cross, and the person on the right has long hair, a halo, a similar robe, and a tall staff. They stand in front of a cross on a hill. The second vignette shows a figure mounted on a donkey or horse, wearing a bishop's mitre and a robe with a halo, approaching a city gate with a group of people. The third vignette depicts a standing figure holding a long cross staff with long hair, wearing a robe belted at the waist, against a cityscape background. In the fourth vignette, a woman stands behind a large ox with long hair, gesturing near her chest, with small buildings on a hillside in the background. Each vignette is labeled, potentially related to a calendar or religious theme. The focus is on the figures and their surroundings, with minimal background details.
