Abner's Messenger before David; The Queen of Sheba Bringing Gifts to S

Two panels side by side. On the left, a crowned king in red robes sits on a throne as a kneeling messenger addresses him, while two donors in brown habits pray below. On the right, a richly dressed woman in red brocade kneels before a crowned ruler as attendants look on, and a small dog sits in the corner.

Look closer: A small white dog sits at the lower right corner of the right panel beside the donors.
