content: Vertical rectangle. Eleven steps lead to the apse. It is alternatively suggested to divide them with three separate flights. A large baldachin with the Easter lamb on top stands in the apse. The inclusion of standing angels at left or carrying candlesticks with many arms at right is alternatively suggested. The monstrance stands on top of a high structure consisting of dado sections and steps with candlesticks. Baldachin and apse are profusely decorated with candles. Verso: figures written in chalk.
