He is bearded and crowned. He is seated; one hand is on his knee and the other holds a scepter.Panel 4: CherubimThe top figure is a Cherubim - instantly recognizable by its six wings, one of which is covered by open eyes. It is barefooted and haloed. Around its halo is a curious object (flames?) Cherubim are the second highest in the nine choirs of angels. In the Apocalypse, they are alluded to as celestial attendants (Rev. 4-6). They are thought to have an intimate knowledge of God.
