I can't figure out what that object is that is between the sleeping apostles.
Wath is it? A stick, a scroll of the Scriptures? ...
What is this?

Once there were 3 men who were tasked to bring a very special gift to a queen in a far away land. She had lost her mate and was very sad and grumpy. Due to laws of the land she was not allowed to take another mate. The men stopped at a tavern had a few and then fell asleep on their way. They did not deliver the very special gift from their country to that of the queen. That is why those 2 countries have been at war all these centuries and even to today. Most don't remember the reason for the ongoing wars, but if you have access to the ancient scrolls you will find the story in the secret section of the scrolls.

Scroll?
Why are Israelites always portrayed with head bands?

That is what appears to be a sword in its sheath. Maybe a Roman gladius. BTW look up what a sword sheath would be called in Latin.

LOL
In Latin, a sword sheath, or scabbard, is called "vāgīna".

I'll go with the sheathed sword too, which fits with the story. According to the Bible, one of the disciples, Simon Peter, being armed with a sword, cut off the servant's ear in an attempt to prevent the arrest of Jesus.

"Scroll?"
Yeah, Simon Peter whacked the servant upside the head with a scroll...

Vaginas are great places to protect your sword. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Actually, it is a scroll of scriptures of their time.
