Andropolis’ cupbearer mocked Thomas and struck him for not eating some of the meat set before him because he was a Jew. Thomas prophesized that he would see the cupbearer’s hand would be brought before him by a dog before the feast was over. The cupbearer went to a spring for more water, was attacked and killed by a lion, and his dismembered hand was carried by a dog into the wedding feast.Stylized trees and clouds in the background indicate that this scene took place out of doors.
