Domestic altar with the Last Supper House altar with the Last Supper, presumably from the Commandery of Sint Jan in Harderwijk, The altar is made up of a postament, a quadrangular center piece and a main frame with crowning. Two alabaster columns with composite capitals rest on the postament crumbled in the corners, which, with the pilasters located behind, carry a head frame that is also cramped. They enclose a relief with the Last Supper, enclosed on the sides and at the top in a narrow egg frame. The evening meal takes place in an interior, the back wall of which is formed by arches resting on fluted pilasters. Against this is the throne on which Christ is seated with John in front of him. They sit in the midst of the apostles at a set table, on which are square 'tin' slices, a bowl of lamb, a chalice and bread. On the benches in front of the table are three apostles, among whom Judas, recognizable by the money pouch, to whom Christ gives the bread. In the foreground on the right a jug and on the left a jug. In the crown a relief, rounded off from the top, on which Mary, sitting on clouds, with the Child on a cloud on the right in front of her, and John with the lamb on the left. Mary holds a fruit in every hand. The postament has a relief with the pre-representation of the Eucharist: on the left stands the king-priest Melchisedek with bread and wine in front of Abraham hurrying up in his pseudo-Roman costume. Melchisedek announces his victory over Kedor-Laomer and the Kings. Behind Abraham a man holds a prancing horse by the bridle, to his right his only horsemen are engaged in battle, on the bottom a defeated warrior and a running dog. Reliefs on both left and right with both male and female nude, fruit garlands ceasing. To the left and right of the crunches, respectively, a man in Roman costume and a nude with helmet, both in scrollwork, cartouches on the sides of the crumpled. The architrave shows a narrow decorative relief: in the middle a mascaron in a slit
