How does this artwork elucidate its Description?
Each of the truncated wing plates has dimensions of 162 x 68 cm, framed 179 x 82 cm. The inner side of the left wing appears at the top of the Beheading of St. James the Great, while at the bottom is shown the Burning of St. Lawrence. The Beheading of St. James depicts two figures in discussion, one of which with a headdress in brocade in the form of a miter, the high priest Abiathar. The figure is a reference to the prelates who Hus condemned. In the lower part shows the death of St. Lawrence, while the figure on the right is identifiable with the Emperor Decius. On the outer side of the plate is left St. James the Greater pilgrim's staff and St. Lawrence deacon holding the book and palm branch. Contralateral altar wing (board 2 inv. No. 4336) has on the inside at the top of Passion of Sebastian, in the lower half of the burning of Jan Hus. On the outside is depicted St. James the Less, at the bottom of St. Stephen deacon. While the martyrdom of St. Sebastian depicts the Emperor Diocletian (left figure with a crown on his head), the "Burning" is dominated by the figure of a man with a princely cap. This represents Rhine Louis of Wittelsbach, which Sigismund handed Hus over to death. On the altar, cover it and Jan Hus assigned to prvomučedníkům Christian church – St. James, Vol. Sebastian and St. Lawrence. The fact that the left bottom plate is shown "baking" St. Lawrence, while on the right wing is depicted the "burning of Jan Hus", is not accidental. These are parallels between the forms of martyrdom of the saints.
