Martyrdom of various believers in Africa
The thirty-first fresco. In the foreground, an executioner is cutting the tongues of some martyrs (right) and another is cutting the hands of other Christians (left) (E). In the background is seen a multitude of mutilated martyrs, flanked by some beheaded and hanged. The text above is again from a hymn "Laetati. sumus. pro. diebus. quibs. nos. huillasti. anis. quibs. vidimus. mala. Psal.80".
