A vertically oriented hand-colored illustration on parchment depicts a figure in golden armor on a white horse, followed by a figure in red. Above them, two figures rest inside a blue cloud. This scene is set within a gold architectural frame with green and blue pillars. The bottom half features Latin text in red, blue, and black ink. All figures have medium-light skin tones, with the label "Maius" at the top.
