Three-light window with scenes from the Resurrection and the Last Judgement. The central light depicts the resurrected Christ with gonfalon over cowering soldiers. with saints and apostles around and below Christ seated in majesty. In the left-hand light three warrior angels fight a two-headed dragon outside a city, above a depiction of the disciples receiving the Holy Sprit at Pentecost. In the left-hand light the lamb of God stands in front of a walled city, with four rivers proceeding from the ground below; beneath, an angel greets the three women at the empty tomb. Roundels above the shorter left and right-hand lights lights depicting a ship with a red cross and the phoenix rising from the flames.
