This is a black and white woodcut illustration depicting a comet in the sky. The comet is the central focus, with a bright, star-shaped head and a long, trailing tail. The tail is composed of numerous beams and is adorned with multiple human faces, each appearing to be a bust or head. Interspersed among the faces are swords and crosses, adding a symbolic or religious element to the image. The comet and its components are set against a backdrop of swirling clouds, creating a dramatic and somewhat chaotic atmosphere. Above the comet, there is a hand emerging from the clouds, seemingly holding or guiding the comet. At the top of the image, there is text in an old-style font, likely a title or caption describing the comet. The overall style of the illustration is reminiscent of early scientific or astrological drawings, with a focus on detailed linework and symbolic representation.
