Theater of Machines, Part 3

A very faint, monochromatic illustration, likely an engraving or woodcut, depicts a scene with multiple figures. On the far left, a person stands holding a vertical object, perhaps a sword or a staff. In the center, a figure is seated behind a large, rectangular structure resembling a desk, altar, or throne. A third figure is visible on the right side of the composition. The background is composed of dense hatching and vertical lines.
