In the third image field from the top on the south wall - as in all four frescoes on the south wall - two scenes are combined. The wood, buried earlier by Solomon, floats to the surface of a pond where many who had fallen ill sought to be cured. Jews pull the wood from the water and construct from it the True Cross.
In this image, elaborately designed architectural backdrops form the background. To the left is a hospital in which many bedridden patients are seen, some paying close attention to the recovery of the wood. On the right is a religious building, which may be the Temple of Solomon. The transition between the two settings and actions is almost a completely smooth one.
