Description

Des rectangles décoratifs s’alternent à des rectangles illustrant une parabole et des scènes de la vie du Christ. De haut en bas : les Vierges sages et les Vierges folles, Jésus sur un âne entre à Jérusalem, acclamé par la foule, la Sainte Cène, Jésus prie au jardin des oliviers alors que deux apôtres dorment. Un calice et deux palmes apparaissent entre chaque scène.
