I know this image as using the Orpheus motive for the depiction of Christ.

Reasons:

  1. the Christian context of the en:Catacombs of Saints Marcellinus and Peter;
  2. the topos of Orpheus as a predecessor / pre-image of Christ since en:Clement of Alexandria --Kipala 22:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
