About this object
Christ stands in a mandorla, grasping Adam by the hand to pull him out of the mouth of hell shown at bottom left. Eve kneels to his left and a sea of onlookers fill the background. The small brass plaque is cast in relief within a stepped frame, with many chanels provided presumably for enameling. The upper frame is inscribed "Resurrection of Christ." There is a "blind" knop at the top.
