This is a detailed drawing of a celestial scene with symbolic imagery. The upper section shows angels and celestial figures around a central altar. Below, there are cascading stars or comets. Two large celestial bodies, a sun with a face on the left and a moon with a face on the right, frame the scene. The lower part contains figures amidst rocky terrain, possibly reacting to the event above, with some shielding their eyes or appearing distressed.
