Description
An early sixteenth-century roundel with an unusual Amplexus image in that the large figure of Christ has come down from the Cross altogether to embrace a nimbed Bernard of equal size. The scene is inside a church and the smallfigure in a doorway may be the monks who witnessed the vision.
