Description
Français : Chaque roi dirige un cortège. Les trois groupes prennent la direction d'un édicule situé au centre, appelé aussi « montjoye », surmonté de l'étoile. Les rois mages représentent les trois âges de la vie : l'adolescent, l'homme et le vieillard. Gaspard, le jeune en haut à droite, est suivi de deux personnages noirs. Balthasar, l'homme, est placé à gauche et Melchior, le vieillard (ici à l'image de l'empereur byzantin Manuel II Paleologue), en bas à droite. Par ailleurs, divers animaux sauvages sont peints : des guépards, un lion, un lézard ainsi qu'un ours, symbole du duc de Berry.
