This painting is a predella panel, divided into two scenes. On the left, a group of men in colorful robes are stoning a figure, while on the right, another group is gathered around a body on a table. The figures are dressed in robes of red, green, yellow, and blue, with some wearing hats or head coverings. The background is a warm, golden color, with some darker shadows and highlights. In the stoning scene, one man is shown holding a large rock above his head, while another figure lies on the ground, surrounded by the group. In the burial scene, the group is gathered around the body, with some figures reaching out to touch it. The painting is a work by Mariotto di Nardo, held at the National Museum of Western Art.
