DescriptionA ship sails past with the disciples aboard, looking out towards Christ on the shore. He speaks to a man, kneeling before Him, a demon escaping from his mouth.

The Schatzbehalter, or “treasure chest of the true riches of the saints and eternal salvation,” was an illustrated work published by Anton Koberger.
