VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an image of a medieval manuscript illumination. The scene depicts the biblical story of Moses lifting up the bronze serpent in the wilderness, as described in Numbers 21:4-9. On the left side stands Moses, identifiable by his traditional iconography including a halo and holding a staff from which a serpent is entwined and rising upward. To his right, there are afflicted Israelites looking towards the serpent; some appear to be suffering or dying from snake bites. In the upper part of the illustration are two medallions with angelic figures, possibly representing divine intervention or protection. The one on the right shows an angel cradling what seems to be a soul, symbolizing salvation or healing. The text surrounding this illustration likely contains scripture or commentary related to this event. The colors are rich yet show signs of age-related fading and wear, typical for manuscripts that have survived through centuries. The border around the page is ornate and detailed with geometric patterns and small adornments at each corner. Overall, this image captures both artistic elements characteristic of medieval religious art as well as theological symbolism conveying themes of sin, judgment, redemption, and divine mercy within Christian doctrine.
