A line of robed figures gathered in front of a tree playing musical instruments and holding banners

A group of twelve figures dressed in robes are lined up across the page, facing the viewer. They are all playing various instruments including lutes, lyres, harps and horns. The largest figure, a bearded man at center, strums a harp. On the ground before them a line of sheep lie peacefully, and behind at center is a massive tree. At upper left is a crescent moon and two stars while at upper right is a rising sun. The margins around the image show hand lettered biblical texts and in the margin below, a flaming altar is shown at center, with a ram at lower left and a cow at lower right.
