Both angels extend a chalice to receive the blood from the wounds in the hands of Christ. At the back, before an archway, is the empty cross with two flails suspended from its arms. Below in the centre is an angel, standing with the back turned beneath the platform, who raises two chalices to catch the blood flowing from Christ's feet.
