The image features the "Shrine (Reliquary) of St Ursula" created in 1489 and made of gilded, painted wood.

This remarkable scene is beautifully captured with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this historical moment to life. The wooden shrine itself is adorned with gothic-inspired elements and meticulously crafted gilding.
