| Description | This panel formed part of a whole with 1930P440.1. This piece seems, itself, to be a fragment as some of the panel appears to have been lost at the left edge. It probably shows another stage of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, possibly showing the same figures as 1930P40.2. It shows three shepherds in the background. One has some large object thrown over his shoulder. He strides towards the left, pointing upwards. In the foreground, two figures point upwards whilst two more are in conversation. | |
