> seems to represent angels shooing the flies off of the consecrated Host
(bread & wine) --which suggests that the one to the left is Christ presenting
the consecrated Host to Peter (left) & Paul?
as it is further down the page, i did not see the scene to the right of the
angels with Host beneath the baldichin:

taken as a whole, we seem to have three connected scenes depicting something
like the Institution of the Mass by Christ, with the aid of angels, and its
(first?) distribution to some of the Apostles.
still, i don't recall seeing anything like this in the West.
