Painted panel with two scenes: a haloed saint near a rock and a crowned rider above, and a haloed saint before a seated king and armored soldiers below.

Saint Christopher Meets Satan; Saint Christopher before the King of Lycia

Two scenes stacked in a gilded panel. Above, a haloed saint in a red cloak stands beside a horse near a pale rock outcrop while a crowned, armored figure rides toward him through a rocky landscape. Below, a crowned king sits on a throne at left as a haloed saint faces him before a crowd of armored soldiers and a stone tower.
