Description: A cross stands in a grave, with a flail hanging from it and a chicken standing on top; a large orb supports a pair of spears, a ladder, and a banner that reads "the orb of the earth is fixed, and is not destroyed by our sin. Hiero. (Jerome ep. 35);" hell and Korah's rebillion are depicted in the background. The Latin superscription reads, "Truly the mercies of God are wonderful," and the text below, "What thing is beyond all omens and faith? That it groans under the weight of crimes but that the earth does not gape".
