Carved panels of the late 16th and early 17th century are typically decorated with Biblical subject matter. The present panel is unusual as it draws inspiration from Greek mythology - namely the story of Perseus and Medusa. Here we see the moment where Phineas is turned to stone for looking at the head of the serpent-adorned Medusa.
