Christ: Resurrection -- Christ, with rays as nimbus, wearing short loin cloth and mantle, showing wounds, holding cross-staff in left hand and with right hand raised in blessing, stands on top of sarcophagus surrounded by three armored soldiers, including one with shield and one with crossbow, both raising hands towards their heads; the third soldier faces away. In background is tomb and distant city.
In upper left margin is floreate ornament.
