    Technical description, state of conservation and restorations

    A fragment of the frame of an altarpiece portrays Christ Redeemer, a half bust, blessing with his right hand and with a phylactery with EGO written on it in his left hand. The round shape of the panel is the result of the support having been reworked. On the back, in the lower half of the circumference, wooden integrations of approximately 4 cm in the lower part and 2 cm at the sides are visible to regularize the shape of the panel. There is a vertical slit where the two boards that form the support meet on a diagonal. The slit has been reinforced with the application of two wooden butterfly inserts. There is another diagonal opening on the pictorial surface on the right side of Christ’s face.
