Palazzo della Ragione, bottom wall, Saint Christopher

Palazzo del podestà

Palazzo del podestà

A large Saint Christopher appears on the left, accompanied by two figures, one on each side. The figure on the left is certainly a female figure, perhaps wearing a crown. The Saint is represented with the classical iconography, he is holding baby Jesus in his arms and his feet are in the water. A small whirl, mentioned in some versions of his story, is a reference to the arduous and dangerous crossing of a river.
