The first represents the power to bind and loose in Heaven, spiritual authority, while the second represents the power to bind and loose on earth, temporal authority. The condition of this framed oil on canvas painting is fair to good with some small holes in the canvas, but it otherwise shows fair to good overall condition. The measurements of this framed oil on canvas painting are 35" x 29" and the visible artwork measures 28 1/4" x 23 1/4".*
