Scene Description: Source caption: "El personaje humano viste una larga túnica, pudiera lucir corta barba y no es larga su cabellera. Presenta un recogido y devoto semblante, pero sin mirar a la Mano que lo señala. Con las manos puestas delante del pecho, agarra, por debajo de su voluminosa cabeza en alto, una larga culebra. Cuelga el oficio, primero por debajo de su brazo derecho, alargándose luego hasta el pescuezo del Señor, volviendo a quedarle colgada su última parte por el otro lado del cuello. Hay quien identifica la figura de la serpiente con un niño puesto en los brazos de esa figura humana."
