It represents three scenes that symbolize hope (an anchor), faith (a cross) and love (a burning heart) as mentioned in the chapter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians. The high quality of execution is part of the very long Antwerp tradition of paintings embossed in a silver plaque. It weighs almost 400 grams.
