Detailed Description
A central enthroned figure holds a child, flanked by eight standing figures. The central figure, seated on a large, ornate throne with a high, arched back and a pointed finial, wears a dark robe over a lighter garment and has a halo. On their lap, a small child, partially draped and with a halo, extends an arm towards the right. The throne's base features geometric patterns. To the left of the throne, four standing figures are arranged vertically. The uppermost figure wears a miter and a dark cloak, holding a staff. Below them, a figure with a crown and halo stands. In the lower left, a bare-chested man with a staff stands next to a robed figure, both with halos and looking towards the center. To the right of the throne, four more standing figures are arranged. The uppermost figure holds a small, light-colored object, possibly a lamb, and has a halo. Next to them, a robed figure with a head covering stands. In the lower right, two robed figures with halos stand; one holds a book and looks up towards the child, while the other holds a staff. All figures in the composition have halos. The background is a plain, textured wall.
