In Orthodox iconography, both heavenly and earthly spheres are often depicted within a single composition. In this work, the heavenly realm is located within the mandorla, or the light-radiating shape enclosing the winged figures. Each of the figures demonstrates a common use of the plant, which can be made into cloth, used as a natural green dye, or employed in a number of medicinal remedies.
