Flanked by a kneeling robed woman on his left, and two more kneeling robed figures on his right who bow their heads low, a robed man stands at center before a tall structure made of cut stone. He stretches his arms outward facing away from us and toward a tall fire atop the stones. The flames point straight upward at a glowing semicircular disc at top which is surrounded by a ring of clouds. A margin around the image features hand lettered text and images. At the sides we see angels and sheaves of wheat while below are an open book and an artist’s palette.
