This is a black and white illustration of a large, stepped pyramid-like structure. The base of the structure is a rectangular building with a central doorway flanked by columns. Above the building, the structure rises in a series of receding tiers, resembling a ziggurat or stepped pyramid. At the very top, there's a small platform with a statue or figure on it, and above that, an angel is depicted descending on a rope or cord. On either side of the building, there are stylized depictions of plants and what appear to be rocky formations. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of woodcut or engraving, with strong lines and a somewhat primitive aesthetic. The background is a textured, off-white color, suggesting the paper or material it was printed on.
