| Reverse description | Full-colour reproduction of a late Gothic polychrome altarpiece relief depicting the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. The central scene shows the recumbent or kneeling Virgin Mary surrounded by the twelve Apostles, rendered in gilded and painted sculptural detail within a Gothic architectural setting featuring pointed arches and tracery. Above the main scene, a figure of Christ or God the Father appears enthroned in glory amid radiating beams of light, flanked by angels with spread wings. The composition fills the entire square field and is bordered by a plain raised rim. |
