DescriptionThree identical persons - son to right of God, (left on panel) Holy Ghost at left of God (right on panel). The heads have 3 triangular nimbus which are framed by a large trefoil nimbus bordered in yellow with ouline and dots of black, and above this are three tadpole forms -probably meant for tongues of flame. Large blue scallops frame panel with small plants and a pair of trees in pale green at bottom. This panel is in the Calligraphic style but rather coarsely drawn--possibly because of the rough surface.
