The sequence of scenes begins in the lunette of the south wall and then extends over the other three image field on the same wall. The frescoes continue on the north wall, beginning again in the lunette.

The third field (top in this picture) depicts the Worshiping of Chosroës (left), the Dream of Emperor Heraclius (middle), and Heraclius's Combat with Chosroës's Son (right). In the fourth field (bottom in this picture) the scenes Emperor Heraclius Beheads Chosroës (left) and Enters Jerusalem with the True Cross (right) are depicted.
