Description
An aloof young man in papal regalia stands between two pillars. His regalia includes a large peaked hat covered in ornate decorations, a gold cape with a beaded collar, a gilded hook staff and a pair of large gilt keys on a chain around his neck. He has chiseled features but soft, blue-grey eyes. An older man, perhaps a priest or donor, kneels beside him at a respectful distance.

I have posted on the AT forum only when people asked, but I think I'll keep quiet now and let people have fun finding the differences if they own the Limited Edition version.
