Ornamental frame with eight numbered medallions with signs pointing to the end of the world from the Gospel of Matthew: Christ with his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane; false prophets perform miracles; people continue to celebrate until Noah boards the ark and the flood breaks out; peoples march against each other; people are punished with hunger and plagues; two women turn a mill, one of them is taken; the master punishes his servant with the sword; darkening of the sun, stars fall from the sky and the moon gives no more light. In the middle an altarpiece with the coming of the Son of Man and on the side panels explanation of the scenes in Latin. In the margin an inscription in Latin.
