Pentecost -- Virgin Mary, nimbed and veiled with wimple, with joined hands, is seated flanked by 15 (?) apostles, nimbed, (except for Evangelist John) kneeling, some with joined hands raised. Peter raises right hand to shield eyes from Dove of Holy Ghost, nimbed, hovering above in rayed mandorla, emanating rays.
