Aquileia Basilica [South Hall, first span] - The Covenants of the Old Testament

One of the four male figures inserted in correspondence with the four vertices of the left sector of the first span. These characters, like slaves, have a "bulla" tied around their neck. They are the allegorical representation of the four Covenants of the Old Testament made by God with Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses in a relationship of subjection and obedience.
