In this paper, some valuations on the images displayed on both sides of one of these objects, namely an example belonging to a private collection in Murcia, are offered.

Therefore we evaluate the possibility that such religious interaction is found also reflected on the mentioned alimentary stamp is evaluated, offering new information on the processes of cultural interaction between the Iberian and the Italian Peninsulas. |
