<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 78516, member: 56"]Possibly scenes from the life of David? The first might be an annunciation. The second: David playing the harp for King Saul. The third: David enthroned, wearing a cross as he was considered an ancestor of Christ. The fourth: showbread on an altar in the temple. All pure conjecture. It was common practice in medieval times to depict biblical events in present day contexts and garb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
