‘QUI GENUS IACHIDUM SERPENTIS IMAGINE FICTI / A VERUS TUTAM MORSIBUS ESSE VIDES. / SIS MEMOR INFERNI SERPENTIS SAUCIUS ICTU, / QUOD CRUCE QUI PENDET, SIT TIBI CERTA SALUS.’

– Moses gestures to the brazen serpent atop a cross-shaped pole as dying and ailing Israelites look up in hope. Around him lie victims of snake bites. In the background is a tent camp and hilly terrain.
