Christ: Last Judgment -- Christ, cross-nimbed, showing wounds, right hand raised in blessing, sits on rainbow arc in sky and rests feet on globe. Below Him on ground are Virgin Mary and John Baptist, both nimbed, both with joined hands raised. From graves in landscape setting rise five nude resurrected figures, two of whom are women, one of whom is man, and two of whom are tonsured men. Two half-figures of angels play trumpets in sky amid clouds.
Margins decorated with floreate border.
