Instruments of the Passion on shields.
The upper shield contains the sword used by Peter to cut off the right ear of the High Priest’s servant Malchus (with the ear on it) and the lantern and staves used by the arresting soldiers at the time of the betrayal.
The lower shield contains the reed placed in Jesus’ hand as a mock sceptre, the cock that crowed after Peter’s third denial of Jesus, the column where Jesus was whipped and the scourge used to whip him.
