Saint Boniface chopping down the sacred Oak tree of Thor. To the left of the tree stands Boniface's killer as a young boy, holding out a red leather-bound book to Boniface in tears, having believed it would save his dead mother. At his feet lie doves and dormice — creatures his mother had sacrificed at the tree when her babies had died.
Boniface’s killer as an older man is on the right, carrying travel chests through the marsh onto waiting boats, alongside baskets of food and wine after killing Saint Boniface. The thieves on the boat have broken into a violent fight with axes and swords after drinking the stolen wine and arguing over how to divide the riches. They soon discover the chests are full of books instead of the gold and treasures they expected. The contents — including the red leather-bound book — are thrown into the waters of the marsh.
At the top of the tree is Saint Albans head, and his hair tangled in a tree- blood dripping down onto the branches of the tree of Thor and St Bonifaces black gown.
