Detailed Description
A section of a gilded altarpiece features a central painted panel flanked by ornate gold relief. On the left, a vertical, dark gold frame shows visible cracks and chips. To its right, a rectangular panel with an arched top displays a figure identified as an angel, depicted from the chest up and facing slightly right. The figure wears a long red robe with gold trim around the neck and a gold sash forming an 'X' across the chest, with hands crossed over the chest. A circular, golden halo with intricate dotted and patterned designs surrounds the figure's head. The panel's background is a rich gold with subtle embossed or painted patterns. To the right of this panel, another section of the altarpiece is visible, primarily gold, featuring a prominent quatrefoil shape with a diamond in its center, rendered in raised gold relief. Below the central panel, a small portion of another arched panel shows a hand holding a dark cross.
