As described in the Gospel of St. Luke Chapter X, verse 30, a Samaritan is shown ministering to a traveler who had been beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. A priest and a Levite who ignored the injured man are shown on the left in the background. On the right, the Samaritan's white horse is tethered to a branch near a stream; a waterfall flows from high cliffs also on the right. A second scene depicted on lower plate with caption: The Foundation Stone of this Hospital was laid by Rahere prior of the order of St. Augustin, in the II year of the reign of Henry 1st MCII in pursuance of a vow made to St. Bartholomew
