Description

St. Michael the Archangel receives souls after the general resurrection to take into Heaven, where God, clad in a red papal triple tiara and cloak, holds a globe with a cross, and is surrounded by faces of saved souls. There is a foliate initial 'M' in the corner of the miniature. The border has tropical birds in vibrant colours, a lily, columbines, strawberries, pantsies, an iris, acanthus leaves, a butterfly, and speedwells.
