Christ: Last Judgment -- Christ, cross-nimbed, raises His right hand in blessing, holds open book in His left hand, and sits on bench.
He is flanked by two standing seraphim with peacock wings, and two nimbed figures, possibly wingless angels, kneeling, one holding crown, and the other holding spear or nails (Instruments of Passion).
