<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The tapestry depicts a seated <a title="Risen Christ" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risen_Christ">Risen Christ</a>, within an oval <a title="Mandorla" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandorla">mandorla</a> on a green background, surrounded by the four <a title="Living creatures (Bible)" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_creatures_(Bible)">living creatures</a> mentioned in <a title="Revelation 4:8" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revelation_4:8">Chapter 4</a> of the <a title="Book of Revelation" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation">Book of Revelation</a>, which are also symbols of the <a title="Four Evangelists" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Evangelists">Four Evangelists</a>. The <a title="Tetramorph" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetramorph">tetramorph</a> (four shapes) of the title are the lion for St Mark, eagle for St John, calf for St Luke, and angel for St Matthew.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the four living creatures, Sutherland sketched eagles and lions at <a title="Maidstone" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidstone">Maidstone</a> Zoo. The composition also draws influences from Egyptian sculpture, Italian mosaic, and images of <a title="Christ Pantocrator" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Pantocrator">Christ Pantocrator</a> in Greek and Romanesque churches.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_in_Glory_in_the_Tetramorph#cite_note-FOOTNOTEThuillier201593,_100-5">[5]</a></sup></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The face of Christ is bearded, and is deliberately made more human than divine: it is based on several sources, including photographs of cyclists in <em><a title="Paris Match" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Match">Paris Match</a></em> magazine.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_in_Glory_in_the_Tetramorph#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> The Christ figure wears a white robe, and is sitting on a throne, face on, with both hands raised towards his face. Loops around the head suggest a halo.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Between his feet is a life sized figure of a man, made diminutive by the colossal scale of the Christ-figure. At the base of the tapestry is a small <a title="Crucifixion of Jesus" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_of_Jesus">Crucifixion scene</a>.<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_in_Glory_in_the_Tetramorph#cite_note-CoventryCathedral-4">[4]</a></sup></p>
