    Isn't that meant to depict the sleeping apostles? If so, that's probably meant to be Peter's sword.

    Let us review a bit of human psychology: Pareidolia is the name given to the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.

    Example of this would be seeing images in clouds or in the grain of a slab of wood.

    No one "put" those perceived images in the sky or in the wood.

    When we examine the intentional work of other humans, like these illustrations, it is impossible to know if the images we perceive are intentional or circumstantial unless we interview the person who produced the work.
