Reader Jessica G. commented that the story shown was Moses striking the Rock from Numbers 20: 1-13. So I looked up 17th century engravings of Moses Striking the Rock and found many engravings which all had the general composition of a grotto or large rock face/pile with a single stream coming out of it as he had a upheld arm with a stick in it and some grouping of people and animals ecstatic to the other side of the composition. So I agree with Jessica that this one is Moses - mystery solved - and just WISH we could have seen the rest of the casket this piece must have come from!!
