The mosaic tympanum of 1893 located over the main entrance door is Our Lord on the Throne with Angels. It was designed by Mor Than. It is currently covered by a wire mesh to keeps birds away.
Salviati's design of "Christ in Glory" from 1893 served as a blueprint for the final mosaic.
"Pictures in apse of St. Leopold's Cathedral Budapest 36 sq f each."
