The middle creature is a unicorn-like animal with a long, spiraled horn and a mane, labeled "Monoceros seu Unicornu Tubatus." The bottom creature is another unicorn variant with a different tail and mane style, labeled "Monoceros seu Unicornu aliud." The animals are set against a simple landscape with plants.
