The image is part of a series titled "History of the Maccabees" which delves into the heroic tale of Israel's triumph over their enemies. Nikanor, driven by his desire to exterminate Israel, assembled an army to carry out his nefarious plans. However, against all odds, the resilient Israelites emerged victorious and conquered both him and his forces. This powerful scene captures the aftermath of this monumental victory as Nikanor's head and hand are displayed for all to see. The Latin reference below the performance points towards 1 Makk. 7:27 in the Bible text, further emphasizing its religious significance.
