Description: Advancing from the left to the right comes a triumphal cart, drawn by six grey mules, caparisoned with white linen, and mounted upon each of them, a person clothed in white from head to toe, and bearing a great wax torch in their hand. Upon an elevated throne sat one person clad in a white robe and behind them another sits clad in completely black apparel. Behind them, more people of the light sit upon the carriage with torches in their hands in the same ghostly apparel.
