The Rood Screen at Venice's "Frari" Church: Detail, King David

1475
Marble

Like the other panels, this one uses a banderole to identify the figure. The crown also helps identify him. The PP in the banderole is an abbreviation for "Propheta." David was considered the author of all the Psalms, including the many cited as prophecies of the Christ.
