The composition unfolds horizontally as a continuous figurative procession articulated in high relief. Armoured angels, a central female figure pierced by a cross, and symbolic motifs including books and scales establish a narrative structured around authority, judgment, and moral tension. The figures are forcefully modeled, with emphatic gestures and deeply worked surfaces that accentuate the sculptural rhythm of the scene. A warm, aged patina enhances the contrast between raised and recessed areas, allowing light and shadow to articulate the dense iconographic program. The work demonstrates a confident command of narrative relief carving and reflects a synthesis of expressive sculptural form and disciplined compositional structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate Approx\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1950–1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoan Palet Batiste was a painter and draftsman born in Barcelona into a family of sculptors and woodcarvers.
