A woodcut depicts the papal seal: the triregnum (papal tiara) resting above two crossed keys, symbolizing the authority of the Church. St. Peter stands on the left, clutching the keys and the shield; St. Paul stands on the right, holding an upright sword. A ribbon above is inscribed with the letters C, E, P, S, T, representing the office of the Holy See. The figures are grounded on a small mound.
