Who is that a relief of? Is it a saint or just a random person?
Perhaps he's St Amand - patron saint of bar-keepers! No, actually, I think he may be an ordinary person, perhaps part of a cycle depicting the activities of the different seasons of the year.
Lovely - looks like he's dipping into some fresh water there, or maybe an espresso...
I like to think of it as being Keats's "beaker full of the warm South..."
