Image title
The base of the tree stands in a heptagonal battlemented enclosure filled with water, its trunk supporting a grapevine held at the bottom by a naked man and woman; alchemists stand in the seven turrets, each holding a flask with the word 'imbibing' inscribed beneath them. To the sides of the tree trunk, a sun and moon and feathers, with inscriptions. A pillar descends from the base of this enclosure, again resting in a square battlemented enclosure filled with water; a large man is grasping the pillar, and is accompanied by a man and woman; parts of their bodies are labelled; the pillars at the corners of the enclosure support flasks that are labelled with the qualities of the four humours. The front wall of the enclosure bears an inscription ('The Red Sea, the red Lune, the red sol, the dragon'), a large red dragon and green frog (with the label 'the tayninge venome'), and a further inscription ('Heere is the Somme the ev ch is called the mouth of the Collorick'). - a burst of flame and on either side a lion salient before a wall, and two scrolls ('The mouth of the Collorick beware' and 'Heare is the last of the red stone and the beginning to put away the dead the elixir vita').
