Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in a black cap and white robe holds a skull and surgical instrument

Detailed Description

A half-length depiction shows a man positioned slightly to the left of the center, against a light blue background. He has light skin, a short brown mustache, and short brown hair visible beneath a black, four-cornered cap. His gaze is directed slightly to his right. He wears a black hooded cloak over a white, vertically pleated robe, with a dark belt and a small gold buckle visible around his waist. His left hand rests on a light brown skull, which is placed on a dark, possibly wooden, surface in the lower left corner. His right hand holds a small, slender, silver-colored surgical instrument, pointing towards the skull. On the lower right side of his white robe, black text appears to read "TIE TH". To the far right, a gray column extends vertically, with an inscription "A.1.1.9." near the top.
