    "description": "This pyx, signed and stamped in 1513 by the Brussels goldsmith Nicolas Croisart, incorporates an earlier enamel plaque that was probably part of a paten. Christ appears on it as the judge of the Second Coming, showing the wounds he received on the cross. The Virgin and John the Baptist kneel before him, imploring him for lenience towards humanity. The dead, including a helmeted knight and a bishop wearing a miter, are rising up from their graves to face judgment. The sword of the Last Judgment and a lily emerge from Christ's mouth.",
