turned, apparently addressing the surrounding fishermen; who knee, stand, and lean around him, some holding nets or baskets
of fish; this image is surrounded by the outline of a circle; above on the block is the outline of a town or city and the
word “Nineveh”; below is an image of a man drowning in the sea beside a large fish or whale, as men in a boat nearby wave
their arms.
