This narrative is a well-known account from the Book of Genesis, signifying the faith and obedience of Abraham and the divine provision of a ram as a substitute for Isaac. The terracotta plaque would likely display the moment when Abraham, with a knife in hand, is poised to sacrifice Isaac, while an angel intervenes, signifying God's will.
