Description: The left light shows Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden with the serpent coiled around the tree of knowledge. Below, Abraham prepares to sacrifice Isaac, with the ram visible in the thicket. At the base is Noah’s Ark beneath a rainbow. The centre light features Jacob asleep as angels ascend and descend a stairway formed of golden-tinted clouds. In the right light, Moses carries the Ten Commandments down from the mountain. Below him, King David sits in splendour with his harp, sheep in the background hinting at his shepherd roots. At the bottom is Jonah and the whale, balancing the ark opposite.
