1. Arnoldus de Meroide, 1487, is a mural, rectangular plate (3' · 10" × 2' · 4"), on the upper half of which are engraved the Virgin and Child, to whom an angel presents a kneeling priest, and St. Bartholomew with knife and book.
2. Johannes Pollart, 1534, is also mural and rectangular (5' · 2½" × 2' · 4"), but is broken into two unequal portions, now placed side by side. The upper half of the larger piece has the following engraving:—In the centre stands the Virgin, wearing an arched imperial crown. Angels swing censers above her head. St. John Baptist, on her right hand, presents a kneeling priest in surplice and alb; and St. Christopher bears "the mysterious Child" on her left. The lower half contains part of the long inscription which is completed on the smaller detached piece.
3. Johannes et Lambertus Munten, 1546. This is likewise mural and rectangular (2' · 11½" × 2' · 1"). It is painted a deep blue colour, and has an inscription in gilt letters, at the foot of which is depicted an emaciated figure, wrapped in a shroud and lying upon an altar-tomb: large worms creep round the head and feet.
4. Johannes Paiel, 1560. Mural, rectangular (3' · 4" × 2' · 4¼"). This is painted as the last-mentioned plate, and represents the Virgin and Child in a flaming aureole. Her feet rest in a crescent, around which is twisted a serpent; on her right hand stand St. John Baptist and the Holy Lamb, each bearing a cross; and to her left is St. Mary Magdalene, who presents a kneeling priest.
5. Henricus de .... This is on the floor in front of the altar-rails, and consists of a rectangular plate (2' · 9" × 2' · 1"), on which is represented an angel wearing a surplice and a stole semée of crosses fitcheé, and supporting a shield bearing three fleurs-de-lis, with as many crosses fitchée. A partially-effaced inscription runs round the plate, within a floriated margin, and with evangelistic symbols at the corners.
In the centre of the choir of Cologne Cathedral lies a modern rectangular brass plate (8' · 10" × 3' · 11") to the memory of a late archbishop, Ferdinandus Augustus, 1835.
Beneath a single canopy is a full-length picture of the archbishop in eucharistic vestments (the stole unusually short), a pall over his shoulders, and an elaborate pastoral staff in his hand.
