Image title
A large red and white rose, with four other smaller roses in profile.- the upper branches of an apple tree, from which is suspended a Christ-like figure (labels either side, 'Lingnam sapientiae' (sic) and 'Lignum vite'); from the trunk of the tree, a female dragon is handing an apple to Eve on the left; Adam is standing to the right, about to bite on the apple. The base of the tree, supported by the naked figures of a man and a woman, stands in a fountain within a hexagonal battlemented enclosure. ('phylosophie paradisus'); in the rear two and front two turrets, male figures are standing.- a gothic-style distillation furnace, with three levels, each labelled.
