Christ: Entry into Jerusalem — Christ, with rays as a crossed nimbus, is astride an ass. He is approaching a city gate, holding the reins with left hand and raising his right hand in blessing. Behind Him are three nimbed Apostles with hands joined, one possibly Peter. Before Him, a man places a garment on the ground. Others stand in the gateway, one with his hands joined and two wearing hats.
The miniature is within a frame decorated with birds, putti, animal masks, shells, and architectural elements.
