The colourful enamel on this copper hand mirror represents Christ as the Good Shepherd. He protects his flock, which stands for the Christian community, by slaying a wolf. The meaning of the Latin inscription below the scene is ‘take care of my sheep’ and was Christ’s call to his apostles to continue his work.
