<p>The engraving shows two women and a dog on top of what looks like a small cliff. The woman on the left is sitting. In her right hand she holds a large rectangular object, a shield or screen of some sort. In her left hand she holds what may be a sceptre. Her arms are exposed, as is one of her breasts and one of her feet. She has shoulder-length light hair. She has a somewhat neutral facial expression and appears passive. The dog is to the left of the rectangular object and appears to look on the two women. The woman on the right is standing. She points her right hand forward. Her mouth is open and her general appearance is consistent with her giving some sort of speech. Her arms and feet are bare. Below the cliff there is a multitude of people looking upwards towards the two women. There are two birds in the air and some trees in the background.

The image list on page 468 in the book describes this image as "Valorna Groa och Heid", i.e. the prophetesses Groa (Gróa) and Heid (Heiðr). It precedes the poem Völuspá and is clearly meant to serve as an illustration for it.</div>
