Judith shows the head of Holophernes to the leaders of Bethulia. She markets her action as divine intervention.

The story of Judith as mediaeval cartoon (historical Bible):
The return of the delegation | Holophernes burns down a city | The altar is covered | Achior before Holophernes | Liberation of Achior | Shortage of water | Judith takes action | Head in the bag | Judith shows the head | Judith is praised | Holophernes on the wall
