This small panel shows the canting arms of the Steiner family, an ibex atop steep, snowy peaks. Hunters in green outfits, each with a falcon on one hand and a dog at his side, pose on either side of the inscription cartouche; the upper panel shows a deer hunt. The pictorial programme bears witness to the donors’ passion for hunting; this was no doubt fostered by the situation of their castle, which at the time was surrounded by woodland, in Wülflingen (which became a municipality in 1922).

The ruins of the castle at Alt-Wülflingen sit on a hill above the Totentäli valley near Winterthur, and can be visited.
