The top-left panel shows a figure in robes gesturing towards an architectural setting with classical buildings. The top-right panel depicts a radiant figure surrounded by onlookers, emitting divine light. The bottom-left panel features a figure kneeling in a natural setting with a stag, while a dog stands nearby. The bottom-right panel shows multiple figures ascending through clouds towards the heavens. The scenes are labeled with Latin phrases and numerals, indicating scenes corresponding to specific dates in November.
