Description

This etching features a group of five figures in the center of the image facing a group of three figures to the (viewer's) left, all in the foreground. The central figure is reading from a long scroll-like document while the monster/demon figure on the (viewer's) left has a yellow word bubble coming from its mouth that reads: "Well done my Children. This is all of the convocation I would have." There is a large group of uncolored figures in the background. Some are crouched down and some have their arms in the air and appear to be shouting. A line of text reads: "Golgotha, ie, the place of Skulls."
