A frieze of the synagogue in Korazin displays a half-lying man with a stuff in his hand, reaching for a bunch of grapes - with the eagle in the background.

Although at present time the relief is preserved in a very damaged State, its interpretation has been conducted on the basis of the State of maintenance recorded on a photography from the beginning of the XX-th century.
