God, nimbed, wearing triple-crowned tiara, raising right hand in gesture of blessing, holding cross-surmounted tri-partite globe with left hand stands in cloud-edged mandorla surrounded by rays. Man, probably donor, with joined hands, wearing fur lined garment, hat on ground behind him, kneels at right hand of God. Figures are in lush landscape with trees.
