On the upper cover the binder used a modern enameled medallion of Christ, coped after a medallion attributed to Jean Limosin in the Schevitch Collection.In the original arrangement the Virgin would have been contemplating the resurrected Christ, according to the iconography of the theme, "Et prima vidit."
