This drawing shows three figures standing side by side. The person on the left holds a cross and a staff topped with a golden globe. The middle figure, smaller, wears a simple robe and holds a scroll. The person on the right has a long beard, a hat, and carries a staff. Above them floats a dove inside a bright sunburst, with stars and flowers around the edges. The bright colors and bold outlines make the scene feel flat and symbolic. The letters on the staff and cross look like abbreviations, possibly standing for something important. Next, look up cult object to see how items like these were used in traditions.
