Christ in a White Mantle Against Gold

A standing bearded figure of Christ in a flowing white mantle fastened with a jewel at the chest, one hand raised with two fingers and the other pressed to his breast. Rays of light form a halo around his head against a glowing gold ground, with dark clouds at the lower edges.
