I had to look up Anaximander.
But I'm afraid I don't see the connection.
It's a clear morality story, depicted backwards - we start bottom right and go up to the top left, although the holy water falls the other way.
We start off with being beasts in the big pool. In the corner we see a woman ascending, leaving her beast form and becoming human.


We then see three levels of humans. The normal enlightened person, touching the water that falls from above.


The next level is the nymph with a ring, one step below the final level, who receives the water directly into her head


And finally we have the top divine person, holding a cross, standing in the holy water, which clearly comes from a cloud which is probably divine.
