It has two representations of the Christ: the veil of Veronica on the upper margin and Jesus rising from the tomb on the lower margin, always two angels at Christ's side. Two candelabras in the two other sections. In the main woodcut there are three popes and two emperors, two popes standing behind, three sitting on the front, the pope at the centre; frame of stylized flowers (fairly common in Florentine woodcuts).
