Christ: Resurrection -- Christ, rays as cross nimbus, wearing loincloth and mantle, right hand raised in blessing, left hand holding bannered cross staff, showing wounds in side and feet, stands beside empty sarcophagus with lid lying across the top. Angel kneels on lid in background. Two of three soldiers sleep next to sarcophagus and the third sits next to Christ, raising right hand, holding rod (?) with left hand and looking up toward Him.
