A pair of engravings depicting a kohen (priest descended directly from Aaron) reciting prayers in the synagogue (top) and a rabbi lifting the Torah scroll for the gathered worshipers to see (bottom). The top engraving shows the kohen on the right with worshipers gathered around wearing tallitot and is labeled as "Synagogue des Juifs Portugais a la Haye" (the Synagogue of the Portuguese Jews in the Hague). The bottom engraving shows a gathering of Jewish worhipers, most wearing tallitot, looking on as a rabbi raises the Torah scroll.
