25: 31-46). The central panel represents Christ blessing and looking down in the direction of the Virgin Mary, his mother, with three angels on either side. Each group of angels holds a large songbook. On the two side shutters, angels play musical instruments, five on each side. In the left panel the instruments are, from left to right, a psaltery, a tromba marina, a lute, a trumpet and a shawm. In the right panel, from left to right, there are a straight trumpet, a looped trumpet, a portative organ, a harp and a fiddle. The panels are 170 cm (5'6") high, thus the angels, or what we can see of them (the clouds obscure the part of their body below the knee), are life-size. Many replicas of these panels have been produced. References Sources and bibliography Hippolyte Fierens-Gevaert, Les primitifs flamands, Ver.
