Description
The inner side of the wing shows the healing or anointing of a sick person by a bishop, who has been identified in the research so far with the St. Wolfgang, very popular in the late Middle Ages in southern Germany and Austria, but also alternatively with the St. Blasius patron of Admont monastery. The bishop is accompanied by a doctor with a urine glass, a man with a salmon-cane, and a courtly dressed young man with a wine-cellar. The patient's wife gave her husband a medicine with a tear-stained face. The strongly ruined exterior of the panel shows the standing St. Sebstian and Achatius.
