The carved figure of the saint appears in the shrine accompanied by Memminger's own patron saint, Bishop Levinus [Livinus] of Ghent, as well as St. Helena, who was the godfather in the naming of a daughter of the couple.

On the inside of the wings, on the left, the mystical marriage of Catherine with the Christ child is depicted in the midst of the 14 helpers in need (in a selection not yet canonised), on the right, the trial of the cross by St. Helena and the return of the True Cross to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius.

When closed, the beheading and wheel miracle of St Catherine follow on the left, and on the right the martyrdom of St Levinus, who, according to legend, had his tongue cut out before his execution.

The iconography is thus entirely focused on the personal patrons of the founder's family. (...)

The iconography is thus entirely focused on the personal patrons of the founder's family. (...)
