Magi: Adoration -- Three Magi wear crowns. The youngest Magus, beardless, holds pyxis-shaped container in his hands; the middle-aged Magus points toward star (not represented). The eldest Magus, half-kneeling, extends gift toward Christ Child, cross-nimbed, holding roll in His left hand and raising His right hand in blessing. He sits on lap of and held by Virgin Mary, pearled nimbus, veiled, seated on throne, with feet on footstool. Decorated frame.
