About this work

This panel shows four scenes stacked in a boxy frame. At the top, a woman in dark blue holds a child, while a bearded man in red robes holds a small book. Below them, a man is nailed to a cross, arms spread wide. The bottom two scenes show riders on horses—one with a golden horse and winged figure, the other with a white horse and a spear. The gold leaf background and flat colors suggest this was made to be carried, possibly for private prayer. The writing at the top is in an old script, hinting at a long history. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
