Six faint, mostly concentric, mechanically drawn circles delimit three rings of text. At 09:30 there is a wider gap in the middle ring and a radial stroke (a modern scribble on the copy?) cutting across the outer ring.
Inside the inner circle is a beardless human figure, apparently smiling, walking Westward. The figure (possibly, but not necessarily male) is wearing a hat with round rim and a long veil or plume falling down the back, to the waist.:e also wears a shirt with ring collar and broad sleeves, closed at the wrist; a flaring skirt, with heavy pleats, down to knee level; and boots to mid-leg.
The figure is holding an armed crossbow, pointing forward and down.
Between the figure's feet is an almost illegible word, possibly "oct" in lowercase Latin alphabet (with a "t" resembling EVA "c")
Between the rings of text, there are two bands of naked figures ("nymphs"), 10 in the inner one and 16 in the outer one. There are 4 additional nymphs standing on top of the outer ring of text. Most of them are female (with breasts and shoulder-long hair).
Each nymph is holding or pointing to a star.
There is a label just clockwise of each nymph.

Transcribed clockwise from faint radial stroke at 10:00 (which may be apocryphal).
