This is a set of two scenes (P02842, P02841) referring to one of the first known stories of Saint Eloy, a French saint from the late sixth and early seventh century and a great goldsmith who served kings Clotaire II and Dagobert and became Bishop of Rouen.

In Saint Eloy before King Clotaire (P02842), the Merovingian king, Clotaire, who knows the saint's fame and skills as a metal worker, commissions Eloy to make a saddle of gold and precious stones.
