As attendants carry him through a town in a decorated, open-air litter, the pope gestures to kneeling figures at the lower right and left of the image. Crowned kings precede him, carrying orbs that symbolize their authority, and a train of cardinals, bishops, and friars follows. The pope carries the keys of his office in his left hand. This woodcut is the twelfth and final illustration in the "Proud Primacy of Popes" series and appears in the second (1570), third (1576), and fourth (1583) editions. Luborsky and Ingram 11223/34.
