Nine prefabricated pieces of tin stamped with rosettes and a series of red circles are soldered together to form a frame. Four additional strips of tin are rolled and soldered to the frame to hold the glass, print, and backing. There is a single loop in the center of the back for hanging frame to wall. The print depicts an image of Christ speaking with an angel (Revelations).
