Entry into Jerusalem, 19th-century copy (The badly damaged original fragment is in the depot of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum) - The maker's mark is that of Veit Wirsberger. Below is the coat of arms of the Welser family.


The reliefs were created at the same time as the choir was built.

Identification of the donors' coats of arms according to Gerhard Weilandt: Die Sebalduskirche in Nürnberg, Petersberg 2007, p. 471, note 140.

________________________

The relief depicting the Entry into Jerusalem was added to the Sebaldus Passion Cycle at a later date. The maker's mark is that of Veit Wirsberger, as seen on the Pappenheim Altarpiece in Eichstätt. Therefore, the coat of arms is not that of the Flextorf family, who had already died out by 1493 when Wirsberger acquired Nuremberg citizenship, but rather that of the Welser family.
