This powerful animal is accompanied by various symbolic elements that enrich the narrative. A bunch of grapes signifies abundance and prosperity, while a prophete adds an air of mysticism to the scene. The focal point of this engraving is undoubtedly the Christ of the Last Judgment, depicted with stars and rays of sun emanating from his divine presence.
