The Judgment of Cambyses The Judgment of Cambyses, Round stained glass with representation of the Judiciary of the diamond are three episodes from the story.

The Judgment of Cambyses The Judgment of Cambyses, Round stained glass with representation of the Judiciary of the diamond are three episodes from the story. On the left we see the corrupt Judge Sisamnes with a bowed head for King Cambyses, standing to the right next to the pillar in the middle and recognizable by his scepter, pointed hat and ermine shoulder cloak. In the foreground, two executioners execute the horrible sentence. In the middle is a bucket for collecting the blood. In the background, on the left, Sisamnes' son and successor Otanes sits thoughtfully on the judge's seat, placed on an elevation, in a niche under three arches. His position, with one leg in front of the other, shows that he is already in office. On the arches hangs, as a frightening example and warning, the poached skin of his father, to which King Cambyses admonishes. Through the arched window on the right, the people look on with interest and horror. The ax at the foot of the column to the right symbolizes justice., Dirck Vellert, Antwerp, 1542, glass, silver stain, d cm
