Missing: upper part of the panel, including the gable.
One hole in the middle of the panel to the left, which must have corresponded to the clasp which kept the polyptych closed.

Comments
This panel was formerly the outer left wing of a polyptych which closed on an image of the Virgin and Child. The inner left wing would have featured Elizabeth on the first register and the third Magus on the second register.
