    A gauche, deux bergers entourés de moutons montrent l’étoile de Bethléem brillant au-dessus d’anges chantant. A droite, les mages avec deux chameaux font de même. Au centre, Marie assise aux côtés de Joseph, tient l’Enfant Jésus dans ses bras. A leur droite, l’âne et le boeuf. En bas, des coquelicots et des chardons.
