Description: A man prays to the Virgin Mary who in turn prays to Jesus on the cross.. God takes on the form of a cloud with tetragrammaton in the middle. A Latin inscription reads APPARELUT ARCUS MEUS INNUBIBUS ET RECORDABAR FOEDERIS MEI (“And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant”). A banner from the man to Mary reads HINC PASCOR AB UBERE ( “Here I am at the breasts [of Mary])”. A banner from Jesus to the man reads INDE A VULNERE (“from the wounds”).
