The claws of the dragon rest on the shoulders of a young man bent over, facing away from the twig, who puts his hands forward in a praying position and stands with both feet on the lower jaw of the lion's mouth. The curl depicts Christ with aureole on the cross between Mary and John. The sagging body of Christ is turned towards Mary, who, looking up to him, holds both hands open with gestures. John carries a book and stares with his fingers from the right hand against the chin, contemplating Christ. Above the cross against the curvature of the sun and moon vine. On the reverse, Mary stands with the child on the left arm and with a fruit in the right hand, between two angels carrying her torch. The child has put his arm around her shoulders and holds a fruit in the left hand (?).
