Summary
| Description |
English: The men holding hand crosses in the manner of Ethiopian priests probably represent the apostles and other saints. Although it is difficult to identify individual saints without inscriptions or obvious attributes, there are conventions that can be applied. For example, Saint Theodore rides a red horse and good persons are shown in full or three-quarter view while villains, such as the crucified thieves, are depicted in profile. Left panel top: Christ's Descent into Sheol (Underworld), Eve and Adam, and the Just awaiting rescue middle: Saints bottom: St. George and the dragon Central panel top: Mary and the Christ child flanked by the archangels Michael and Gabriel middle:The red mantle over a blue dress that Mary wears shows the influence of Italo-Cretan icons. Saints bottom: Left to right: the equestrian saint Theodore, saints and unidentified equestrian saints Right panel left: The Crucifixion with Mary and St. John the Evangelist, the two crucified thieves middle: Saints bottom: Equestrian saint |
