| Resumo: | The Lives of the Holy Fathers collect examples of hermits at work, mostly artisanal practices, such as the production of woven baskets, and agricultural works.

While we still know little about the function of these decorations, it is certain that these representations constituted a practical example not only of spiritual conduct, but also of a model of life and work that the viewers put into practice on a daily basis in their religious institutions. |
