On the outer side of the plate is left St. James the Greater pilgrim's staff and St. Lawrence deacon holding the book and palm branch.
The fact that the left bottom plate is shown "baking" St. Lawrence, while on the right wing is depicted the "burning of Jan Hus", is not accidental.
Jaromir Pešina states that the author of the piece was in contact with the artist behind St. George's altar, whose work dates to early in the second half of the 15th century, newly assigned to Czech late Gothic panel painting.

In 1966, during restoration of the village church, students of the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague discovered two door panels on which were concealed, beneath overpainting, a baroque quality pre-medieval painting dating to the 1470s.
The altar wings were bought from the Trmice parish in the Diocese of Litoměřice for the amount of CZK 12 million paid from the funds of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
Illustrations of Jan Hus as a holy martyr are captured in their oldest form, as we know from the few surviving fragments of altars from the middle of the 15th century.
[4] This monumental painting presents us with Jan Hus as a man of small stature with a round face, beardless, dressed in a liturgical white shirt.
