Manger scene where there are two figures looking down in adoration at the Christ Child. The Christ child is laying down in the manger. The figure on the left is St. Francis who has his arms crossed over his chest. The figure on the right is Saint Clara who has her hands above the Christ Child as a sign of reverence. All the figures have light eminating from their heads. In the lower right corner, there appears to be a metallic figure which is a monstrance which is used in Catholic Church masses to hold the bread which will become the body of Christ. At the bottom of the print there are several Latin Inscriptions.
