This appears to have been the right-hand shutter from a small triptych. Sebastian was a third-century Roman Christian soldier who survived when he was tied to a tree and shot with arrows but was later martyred. He was commonly invoked as a protection against the plague. His cult was particularly widespread in late fifteenth-century Germany.
