Christ: Last Judgment -- Christ, nimbed, wearing mantle, showing wounds in hands, feet, and side, sits on arc with feet on tripartite globe, with arms outstretched. Flanking Him are two angels, playing horns. Below Christ are Virgin Mary, veiled, and Evangelist John, both nimbed and kneeling with joined hands raised. Between them, three souls, including one tonsured, emerge from graves.
Margins with floreate ornament.
