Psalm 021 (Vulg., 020) -- Christ-Logos, as half figure, wearing crossed nimbus, appears in cloud-edged arc of heaven, rayed. He makes gesture of blessing with his right hand and in his left hand holds cross-surmounted globe. Below is David, crowned, wearing armor on his legs and with sword at his waist, kneels with joined hands raised. At right is group of soldiers, wearing armor and holding spears, kneeling with joined hands raised. Scene in landscape setting.
Margin is decorated with foliate border.
