"The central figure is that of the Good Shepherd, but it is wholly unlike
the conventional representation of Christ. It shows a beardless youth, of rather
martial aspect, clad in a red tunic, the right hand grasping a staff, and the left
shoulder bearing a lamb. This is a reproduction of the earliest known representation
of Christ, which was found in the catacombs of Rome." - Bill
