This is one of the devotional images found beneath the floor boards of the nuns' choir in Wienhausen in 1953.
This depiction of a youthful Christ, offering a blessing from his apocalyptic throne recalls the imagery found in the Golden Evangeliar of Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim (ca. 1015). See Kloster Wienhausen: Der Fund vom Nonnenchor
