Description: Moses addresses a group, while manna pours from a cloud overhead and a pig attacks a snake; in the background, a man eats from a bowl and a group of men eat from a pot with a skeleton in it, under a banner that reads, "in this pot, death." The Latin superscription reads, "He who thinks heaven is foolish, has the taste of the earth," and the text below, "Who is captured by the sweetness of so many transient things? To him the earth seems dull; to him heaven is the sea".
