GeneralDescription |
The panel is framed by a flat-band moulding. Two side-facing figures face each other and with both hands are clasping a central
column, with a block capital. This may be forming a central arch, or is possibly a cross (Hawkes). The figures appear to be
bearded and wear short tunics.
