An allegorical engraving depicts two central figures flanking a large celestial globe. On the left stands a youthful figure labeled "Messias" Messiah, depicted with long hair, a radiant halo, and a cross-pattée emblem on his chest. He blows a long trumpet directly into the head and ear of the figure on the right. Above him hangs a banner featuring the letter "M" within a circular frame. On the right is an elderly, bearded figure labeled "Moses," wearing a heavy hooded robe that partially veils his head. He leans forward with both hands resting on the surface of the globe. To his right, a banner features the letter "M" surrounded by flames. The central celestial globe is intricately detailed with stars and various bands. One prominent band contains the letters "ALM" alongside other mystical symbols or characters. The entire scene is set against a background of clouds at the bottom and radiating lines of light from the top.
