The cronwed figure of God the Father is enthroned in the centre of the panel, under a canopy. His hands are raised in blessing and he holds the Crucified Christ between his knees. The Holy Spirit is not represented but there is a whole in the top of the cross and the Dove may formerly have been fixed to it. At the bottom of the panel, two angels hold a chalice to receive blood from Christ's feet.
