An image of the grapes of Eshcol from the Treasury Statutes
The image is identified as the ‘grapes of Eshcol’ by H. Rackham in the introduction to his edition of the Statutes (Cambridge, 1927). In this case, unlike many of the images in the Treasury Statutes, there may be a link between text and image. The image accompanies the chapter on ‘the worship of God’, and the celebration of mass, so a depiction of the fruit of the vineyard may be appropriate. The biblical text is Numbers 13:23-24.
