This central panel of a triptych is set within a frame arched at the top and with lateral twisted columns. The Healing of the Paralytic formed part of the Byzantine New Testament miracle cycle sometimes included within the main feasts in monumental art. As portrayed here, Christ and the paralytic, holding his bed (inscribed in Greek 'Take your bed and walk'), fill the main part of the scene with a few observers to the left. The background is filled with a variety of buildings.
