The top left illustration shows a figure holding a pastoral staff interacting with another robed figure carrying a burden on their back. The top-center image shows a robed and hooded figure standing serenely holding a book, with figures in the background engaged in a procession. The bottom left illustration depicts people engaged in prayer or reverence near a large wooden box. The bottom right illustration shows a figure raising a whip or flail while another figure leans over, with ruins or structures in the backdrop. Each scene is framed with text indicating religious dedications or calendar dates.
