The Heavenly Jerusalem

Detail: The Elect
To the left of the Heavenly Jerusalem a group of the elect approach carrying their crowns of martyrdom, led by two women whom I presume to be Praxedes and Pudentiana. To the right of the city another group approaches, led by St. Peter and St. Paul. Each group is greeted by an angel who is gesturing to the gate.
