Folio 32v shows Christ enthroned.
The Irish Book of Kells is an illustrated book in Latin of the four Biblical Gospels and includes texts and tables as well. I found one interesting comment in it about the symbolism of Jesus Christ.
Christ was identified and accompanied by a large number of different symbols, including the fish, the lion, the snake, and the peacock.
