Detailed Description
Four figures are depicted within an arched panel, set inside an elaborate gold frame. The frame features intricate floral and geometric patterns, with a small shield emblem visible on its lower right section. The central arched panel shows a man on the right, with a beard and long dark hair, wearing a dark blue robe. His right hand is raised with the palm facing forward, and his left hand is partially visible at his side. To his left are three women. The woman in the foreground on the left wears a white head covering and a blue garment, with her hands clasped together in front of her chest. Her gaze is directed slightly towards the man. Behind her, another woman with a white head covering is partially visible. In the center, a woman with a dark head covering looks downwards, holding a white cloth to her right eye. She wears a dark garment with red details. All four figures are positioned against a textured gold background.
