Wings of a smaller altar, originally measuring 122.5 x 76 cm. 1994 by Paul Pfister added at the top and bottom so that the scene could be read as a whole again.
The inside of the left panel with St. Jerome and Sebastian was kept in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum in Berlin from 1924 to 1945.
Possibly by an employee of the high altar of the Franciscan Church in Fryburg, the main work of the Nelkenmeister group, created in 1479/80, hypothetically identified with the vaguely reconstructed Paul Löwensprung, who arrived in Bern from Basel via Solothurn. Closely related stylistically is the somewhat earlier Peter Rot altar in the Historisches Museum Basel, which was created in the late 1470s.
