Tympanum from the Abbey Church of Egmond Tympanum from the abbey church of Egmond Tympanum or Egmond Abbey, While maintaining a flat, arched frame and a plinth, half have been saved: in the middle Peter with nimbus, holding a curve bar in the left hand and a double beard key in the right, on the right, turned towards the middle, PetronelIa in profile, but with the face to the viewer and in a worshiping position, left in the same way, but with the head three-quarters facing the viewer, Dirk VI. Peter probably carries the pallium over a chasuble with scaly motif, of the albe only the sleeves are visible. The pallium is adorned with ovals and squares (émaux and stones) at the neck and with crosses on the chest. Petronella, probably in widow's wear, wears a cloak that closes with a button at the neck and a sort of hood or headscarf, the ends of which seem to hang down. The youthful, yet beardless Dirk wears a tight-fitting jacket with a belt around the waist (?). Right and left of Peter's head is placed underneath each other in Greek 'Saint Peter.' In the arched list in Leoninese verses (partially shortened): IANITOR O CELI TIBI P (RO) NV (M) MENTE FIDELI INTROMIT (T) E GREGEM SV (PER) V (M) PLACANS SIBI REGEM (O, Doorkeeper of Heaven, do those who, kneeling with faith in their hearts, come in before You and reconcile with her the King of Heavens, on the plinth: HIC THID (E) RIC ORAT - OPUS H (O) C PET (R) ONILLA DEC (O) RAT (Here Dirk prays - this work is decorated by Petronella, translations to Van Wijn). Left and right at both ends of the relief, originally a cover of a sarcophagus, a corner piece for mounting in the wall. On the reverse along the base and adjacent corner pieces, as well as in the upper part of the circular arc, two parallel straight grooves, as well as three metal dives with an eye for holding a ring on each of them, the apostle Peter, first bishop of Rome, possible attributes: book, cock, (upturned) cross, (triple) crozier, fish, key, scroll, ship
