Two male figures are standing on top of a tree-covered mountain. The being on the left has wings and a hat. The person on the right bears a sword. To their left is the sun, to the right is the moon. Below are lakes, sailing ships, and towns.

The top of the page reads "Alius mons Indiae in vase jacet" which translates as "Another mountain of India lies in the vessel" The image caption is “Quem Spiritus & Anima, utpote filius & dux, conscenderunt.” A translation would be: "Spirit and Soul (shown) are acting as child and guide."
