Visual Description
A robed, crowned figure stands whose layered garments look like stacked books, a long green beard hanging from a mask-like face. He holds a chalice placed on a pile of books while a wooden staff rests to his left; waves roll in the background beneath a crescent moon and a stylized sun against an orange sky. The crown has star-shaped ornaments and one arm is outstretched as if offering or calming, with rich, booklike textures making up his throne and robes.
