The same tree imagery is repeated in the Announciation of the Nativity, where we see the shepards lift their heads towards the angels; two goats and a sheep graze behind them.


I find this very stylised sort of a tree fascinating, is it part of a local tradition?

It's similar to some of the trees used for vices and virtues and for mnemonic purposes, but most of the ones I've seen have text and this one doesn't. It is interesting.

Since the tree has three branches, and it is about religion and faith, I would guess the "Trinity".
