Inside the border, at the top left, is a balance scale representing justice or equilibrium. At the top center is a human face positioned above two rows of numbers, 1 through 10. At the top right is a compass, also known as a divider, and a square, which are traditional tools of geometry and architecture.

The center of the page is dominated by a large circular diagram. Inside, a female figure, likely representing Wisdom or Nature, holds a globe depicting terrestrial features and waves. The figure is surrounded by a ring of small dots. The outermost ring of this circular diagram is divided horizontally: the upper half is white with a sun at the zenith, and the lower half is black with a crescent moon at the nadir.

At the bottom left is a decorative footed urn or vase. At the bottom center and right are a set square and a horizontal ruler with measurement markings.

The entire ensemble is framed by a rectangular border containing Latin inscriptions.
