This banderole shows the text “Crucifige crucifige eum”. The crowd is demanding that Jesus should be crucified. Translated from latin it means: “Crucify, Crucify him!”. In addition, two men show the gesture of the crossed index fingers. This marks the people of the Jews as the guilty ones of the death of Jesus. Medieval preachers often used this depiction to agitate against Jews.
