Edmund of England: Scene, Apotheosis -- The illustration shows three-quarter figures of two nimbed angels wearing diadems. Their hands are extended, and they flank two more angels. One of the second pair wears a diadem. They are descending from cloudy arcs of heaven and placing a crown with infulae on the head of Edmund. Edmund is seated on a cushioned throne holding a scepter and a palm branch, which are presented by two standing nimbed angels wearing diadems. Two monks kneel, embracing the feet of Edmund. The illustration has divided fields and a decorated frame. The border is decorated with interlace ornament.
