In a biblical scene from the book of Judges, Jephthah's daughter comes out to greet her triumphant warrior father, only to realize that he has promised to sacrifice to God, whatever comes out of his house to meet him when he returns. The triangle and triangle player are painted beautifully painted showing great detail. The triangle beater curiously appears to be in front of the triangle.
