Editing Shrine of the Three Kings (section)

==== Back ====
The back is similar in appearance to the two reliquaries on top. The relics of the three Kings are arranged in the bottom part of the shrine whereas [[martyr]]s [[Nabor and Felix|Felix and Nabor]] are located in the smaller upper part. There are 74 [[high relief]] figures in [[silver-gilt]] in all, not counting smaller additional figures in the background decoration. The surface is divided into 3 zones: lower, middle and upper zones. The standing figure of [[Jeremiah]] separates the events of [[Flagellation]] and [[Crucifixion]] in the lower zone. Above the lower zone, the middle zone, contains the portrait bust of [[Rainald of Dassel]], the [[Archbishop of Cologne]]. In the upper zone, the resurrected Christ is seen crowning the martyrs Felix and Nabor. [[Christ in Majesty]] is shown holding the [[Book of Life]] in his left hand whilst his right hand is held high for an act of judgment. The inscription reads along the inner band of the gable:<ref name=":1" />
