DescriptionA pyramid type composition with a central figure at the top dressed in white, with a halo surrounding his head, holding a pitcher in his left hand and in the right hand is bread. Two lines of men, one from the left and one from the right, are both approaching the table. Coming down the stairs are two men - on the left, the man has short brown hair and facial hair and is dressed in green carrying bread and on the right, the man has longer black hair with no facial hair and is dressed in red carrying a pitcher in his right hand and a cup in his left. In the upper right hand corner a shadow of a palm tree is cast across an architectural motif that runs across the background behind the central figure. The upper portion of the wall is designed in an interlocking circle motif and the lower portion has an interlocking sideways "S" motif. On View
