Relief panels from the Gustorf Choir Screen (Gustorfer Chorshranken), c.1150. From left: the Three Magi; the Virgin and Child; the proclamation to the shepherds by an angel. These Romanesque reliefs are damaged but of excellent quality. They originally formed the choir screen in the basilica of Knechtsteden Abbey, northwest of Cologne, and were acquired by the museum in 1939.
