The portrait is rendered in a late-medieval Italian style, with fine detailing on the drapery of the shoulder. The peripheral legend in Latin runs around the outer border, separated from the central effigy by a raised rim. |

The abbreviated Latin legend of the saint's name is distributed around the periphery within a beaded border. |
