This 16th-century woodcut, likely created between 1561 and 1562, depicts a scene with four figures surrounding a terrestrial globe, likely representing the "Blazoen van De Lelikens uten Dale" (Coat of Arms of the Leliks of the Valley). The figures could be allegorical, representing the virtues or values of the family. The detailed ornamentation framing the figures and globe points to a style common in the 16th century, with an intricate design that adds to the significance of the image. The inscription, "1561", confirms the year of creation, making it a valuable historical artifact and an excellent example of the graphic arts of the period.
