A combined citation covering an art historical essay on the New Liturgical Movement site describing the panel's iconographic program and inscription, and the Opera Duomo Siena's own institutional page on the cathedral's marble pavement. Their strength is corroborated agreement on the panel's 1488 date, its attribution to a design by Giovanni di Stefano, and its placement at the threshold of the nave as the first image a visitor entering the church encounters. Their limit is that neither source is a peer reviewed academic study of the pavement's reception across its five centuries of public display, only an institutional and an essayistic account.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
New Liturgical Movement is an independent devotional and enthusiast blog, and the citation leans on it alongside the cathedral's own site; useful for descriptive detail but not an institutional or peer reviewed source in its own right, hence the tradition's-own-account tier.
