Saint John the Evangelist - with his symbol, the eagle - inspired by an appearance of the Virgin Mary in a mandorla; scrollwork frame with ram's heads, fruit; symmetrically placed serpents with an apple in front of their mouth, perhaps a reference to the Fall

[s.d.]×1

1570 probably dates the woodcut; the device was used together with 1481; the frame of 1481 is almost identical with that of 626, which was not used before 1610
