Description

The painting is badly damaged and rather indistinct. On either side of the central Christ figure, there is a wind instrument pointing straight down toward the people below. The instrument on Christ's right-hand side is the better preserved, but all that remains of the angel blowing it are fragments of the head. The angel on Christ's left has disappeared entirely except for the hands and the right arm, which can be discerned near the upper part of the instrument.

People as subjects

St. John the Baptist

Instruments [MIMO Code] (notes)

Trumpet [4446] (2 trumpets, both are conical and have rings round the tube which becomes very wide toward the opening.)
