The Masterwork in the Burial Chamber.


The Kariye Camii museum has a great fresco cycle that includes the Last Judgement.  In the detail, an angel holds up a symbol of creation.  I wish we knew more about the artist or artists who created this work.  The fresco is still in pretty good shape.  This church must have a depiction of nearly all of the major images from the life of Christ.  This place is also called the Chora Church in Istanbul, Turkey.
