9. THE CHOIR AND ALTAR-STEPS.
Before the lowest step of the High Altar, we find one large design, and on either side of it seven small ones; the whole being inclosed by a long processional frieze.
The principal design represents
Abraham’s Sacrifice (No. 56).
The whole story is told in different parts of the picture, culminating in the central group of the Sacrifice itself. The smaller designs represent the following subjects.
