| GeneralDescription |
The face is bordered by a single flat-band moulding, and divided into two panels. |
| GeneralDescription |
The upper panel is framed by an inner roll moulding. It is divided into four by wide rectangular bands attached to a central
circular feature. There is a frontal figure, squatting and with arms extended, in the circle. His head is surrounded by a
halo. In the upper quadrants there are two side-facing, standing figures, each holding a book or mallet in their right hands.
Attached to their mouths are horizontal trumpet-like features. In the lower quadrants two figures face each other sitting
on chairs. They both hold a horn or scroll in their right hands. This is thought to represent a Judgement scene.
