Trinity: Mercy Seat -- God, rayed crossed nimbus, is seated amid rays on throne. He holds with both hands on cross bar, crucifix on which Christ, crossed nimbus, wearing diaphanous loincloth, bleeding from wounds, is affixed with three nails. Dove of Holy Ghost, crossed nimbus, hovers above head of Christ.
