Visual Summary

Brief Description

Golden relief panel depicting three seated figures amidst elaborate scrollwork and decorative borders

Detailed Description

A rectangular, horizontal golden relief panel is presented against a plain gray background. The panel features a multi-layered frame surrounding a central, deeply carved scene. The outermost frame layer displays a continuous, undulating leaf or wave pattern, while an inner border consists of a row of small, raised beads. The central area of the panel is densely filled with intricate, high-relief scrollwork and three prominent seated figures. The figures are positioned centrally, to the left, and to the right, each seated on a low, ornate platform or throne. Each figure's hands rest in their lap, and each is backed by a circular halo or aureole. The entire surface, including the figures and the elaborate background, is rendered in a uniform golden hue. The detailed scrollwork includes smaller, less distinct forms within the swirling patterns between the main figures.
