		 David has put Goliath's head on a stick and carries it into Jerusalem. Groups of citizens cheer at him. Two men accompany him with trumpets. To the right a men points at his forehead to show where David's stone hit Goliath's head. David is barefooted and wears a simple tunic. Just like the women in the foreground, his origins are humble: he used to be a shepherd-boy. The women to the left wear more expensive dresses; yet they too greet David.  |
