Note: The center plaque depicts Christ in Majesty, rays emanating from His head, His wounded hands raised, and His feet resting on a sphere. His halo is ornamented with a band of green and mauve jewel-like enamels, as is the sphere; a lily issues from the proper right side of His head, a sword from the proper left side. He wears a white loincloth and an enveloping cloak enameled in mauve trimmed with a band of green and mauve “jewels” (paillons) set in a meandering design in gold and joined at the throat by a jeweled brooch. Blood issues from the wounds on His forehead, breast, hands, and feet. As intercessors for the dead, the Virgin and Saint John kneel on either side of Christ.
