Visual Description
A seated pontiff-like figure occupies a carved stone throne, wearing a tall mitre decorated with a purple cross and flowing white and purple robes embroidered with gold crosses. He holds a large green book embossed with a radiant sun and a face, lifted before him, while a long staff or crozier rests across his lap and a small brazier with a steady flame stands at his side. The card frame shows the Roman numeral V at the top and bottom and the scene is rendered in rich, tactile detail: the carved armrests, patterned vestments, and the heavy weight of the book are clearly visible.
