Iconography

Description

Des rectangles décoratifs s’alternent à des rectangles illustrant des scènes de miracles. De haut en bas: Moïse fait jaillir l’eau du rocher en le frappant avec son bâton, Samson abat les deux colonnes du temple, le songe de Daniel, Ruth glane dans le champ de Booz après la moisson, le roi David charme des animaux en jouant de la lyre. Du blé apparaît entre chaque scène.
