This depicts Jesus Christ ascending into Heaven. Mary and the Apostles stand around the rock atop Mount Olivet and watch. I framed the scene in a twelve-pointed star surrounded by plant and animal ornament. Above I wrote the words Ascendit Deus in a Lombardic script; below I drew a miniature of the prophet Elijah taken to Heaven in a fiery chariot.
