Christ gives the symbols of power to Philip II and Pope Gregory XIII; Christ makes a blessing gesture and holds out an orb; the Pope and King place their hands on the orb and kneel before a table on which rests a crown and sceptre and tiara and keys of St Peter; the orb has a sword and olive branch, crown and cross; flanking the three central figures are two angels holding a palm and wreath and cartouches; the coat-of-arms of Philip dangles at right. Engraving, 1570-1580, 230 millimetres x 293 millimetres.
