A circular etching in dense black-inked fine lines depicts the Descent of the Holy Spirit. Centered, the Virgin Mary sits with palms outward among twelve figures with light skin tones kneeling on a tiled floor. A dove descends within radiating lines from clouds above. Small flames hover over each head. Two figures in the foreground turn toward the center within a room featuring arched openings, the scene defined by intricate hatching.
