Iconography: In front of the altar, with open Royal Doors, stands the priest Zechariah, dressed in a chiton and himation with a cloak decorated with letters arranged in four rows. He holds out his arms towards the young Mother of God, who has a white handkerchief on her head and falling down her back. Behind her, six older girls dressed in various garments. At the end of the rather elongated composition, Joachim and Anna are shown. The rest of the composition is filled with the requisite architecture, covering part of the background. At the left corner, the Mother of God is shown seated on a throne; an angel in flight approaches her. Conservation: Cleaning and conservation carried out.
