A woodcut illustration depicts the Coronation of the Virgin or the assembly of the Saints in Heaven. At the top center, the Holy Spirit appears as a dove surrounded by rays of light. Below the dove sit Jesus Christ, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, and God the Father, wearing a papal-style tiara and holding a globus cruciger a cross-bearing orb symbolizing world dominion. Between them, the Virgin Mary kneels in prayer. The central figures are surrounded by a large multitude of saints and angels resting upon clouds. In the foreground to the left, Saint Peter is visible, identifiable by a large key. The scene is densely populated with various figures of the blessed, many with halos, representing the heavenly hierarchy.
