Engraving of a winged archangel with a halo standing on a coiled dragon, with a sun face with rays above and clouds at the top.

Heilige Michaël

An engraving shows a winged angel with a halo and long curled hair, holding a cross-topped staff and a shield while stepping on a dragon coiled at the bottom. A radiant face of the sun with rays fills the cloudy top border, and a small rocky outcrop sits at lower left. Fine hatched lines model the drapery and wings.
