Description:
|
A bishop with miter and crosier is flanked by two native Americans who kneel before him. On his left is a woman [Rose of Lima?] with an angel placing a wreath of roses on her head, on the right is a monk [Francis Solano?] holding a crucifix who baptizes various kneeling native Americans by pouring water from a vessel. Another vignette shows a man asleep who holds a rosary in his hand while an angel offers him another rosary. Also includes various coats of arms (including the Spanish royal coat of arms [Spanish Hapsburg coat of arms] and the papal coat of arms), angels, the Holy Spirit or Dove, and architectural features.
