NB. Owing to the unconventional treatment of frames in this window (see below) the web-pages for bay 17 work slightly differently from the other ones. Clicking on any row on the images above will open a detailed view of that whole row in a new window - clicking the detailed view in that window will open another window with a higher-resolution image of just the selected panel.

Though it may at first sight appear quite conventional, in this window, the "Good Samaritan Master" has constructed a tour-de-force of unusual framings (which is why for the purposes of this website I have treated each row as a complete entity). Each row may contain one, two or three distinct scenes and there is a sense, particularly with the fascinating fourth row, that the viewer is deliberately being challenged to disentangle the episodes, rather than simply flitting mechanically from frame to frame.
