On the left in the first place next to the Old or Ancient initiator we see the Sun King sitting on a Lion while down inside the cave a sulfurous dragon sends his fire from the dronic breath.
On the other side Queen Moon over a dolphin and moonbird entering Earth. Near to the Elder the young=initiated.
Universal Matter symbolized by the tree of metals=7 metals and in the last roots=Sun and Moon. Other metals are represented as Stars.
We have there the symbolism of the Elements and the Earth symbolizing man and Lion. Fire is the dragon its symbol. Water = The Sea. The dolphin, the moon woman and the bird=Air.
The 7 figurines are representative of the colors and operations of the Opus magnum.
The crow=mortification next to the skull; the two crows=distillation and the three crows=sublimation. We see the two birds that symbolize the Crown; and the white color end of the initial process of the master's degree.
The two birds and the tree=is the regime of Mars, the colors of the rainbow; the Unicorn and the Rosal=Red Color.
And, the child born is the best indication of the end of the Great Work and symbol of the making of the Philosopher's Stone.
