Johah and the Whale
It looks to me like the great fish is in the water in the upper bowl of the capital letter E, while Jonah emerges into the air in the bottom bowl. I think that’s an interesting reversal (le monde à l’envers).
The first part of the ‘Montpellier Bible’, containing the Book of Genesis to the Book of Malachi.
