Reverse description Saint Ursula is depicted standing at the prow of a ship, an arrow piercing her breast as an attribute of her martyrdom, flanked by Prince Aetherius of England on one side and Saint Cyriacus on the other, with additional figures of the Eleven Thousand Virgins visible in the background. The scene is rendered in a highly detailed late Renaissance style evoking the sacred narrative of Cologne's patron saint. A Latin legend encircles the design, referencing the martyrs' triumph through their blood over heavenly kingdoms.
