Peter and his brother Andrew were fishermen on the Sea of Galilee and were the first two disciples to follow Jesus. In his left hand he is holding the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, conferred on him by Christ. His face, framed by a short beard and curly hair, is marked by signs of age. Represented as though walking and looking to the East, Saint Peter is wearing a tunic with a cloak fastened by a circular fibula on his right shoulder.
