A pigment on wood and cloisonné enamel triptych depicts Christ between the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist, all with light skin tones. Christ faces forward in the central panel, holding an open book with script. Mary and John flank him in the side panels, turning their gazes toward the center. Intricate green and blue enamel scrolls fill the background and surround their ornate halos. All wear dark robes with fine gold detailing.
