Description: The Last Judgment and the burying of the dead, the seventh work of mercy. In the center above, Christ sits on the globe on the rainbow with arms raised, heaven is full of angels blowing trumpets, holding up the cross with Bible and carrying a sword or lily branch. On earth, on the left the dead rise to be saved, on the right the damned souls and devils. In the center, some men in black bury a coffin.
