The Dragon and the Beasts Cast into the Lake of Fire

A hellmouth—a giant, beast-like head with jagged, triangular teeth—dominates the left and top of the frame, swallowing a brown, winged dragon and a spotted beast. Below them, a small, dark-furred, horned devil stands to the right, poking at a cluster of smaller heads (the False Prophet) with a red rod, forcing them toward the flames. The background is a dense, fiery expanse of vertical orange and yellow flames against a dark blue sky. The lower foreground contains a composition of stylized, oversized blue and brown faces with wide, staring eyes, serving as the base of the infernal pit.

This illumination illustrates the final defeat of the forces of evil as described in the Book of Revelation 20:10, a central text in Christian eschatology. It reflects the medieval theological preoccupation with the physical manifestation of eternal damnation.
