Four side-panels of a chest tomb are on the E wall of the S transept of the Augustinian abbey of Mothel (WA007-010001-). Two side-panels (dims. 1.88m x 0.35m) have six figures each and the two end-panels (dims. 0.85m x 0.35m) have three figures each, including a crucifixion. The W side-panel has a king and monk holding a cross representing the foundation of the abbey, a Madona and child, St Michael, St. Peter and St. Paul. The E side-panel has St. James, St. Margaret of Antioch slaying a dragon, a figure with outstretched hand that may be St. Dominic, St. John the Baptist with a lamb, a bishop, and St. Catherine with a wheel.
