The above icon shows an... unusual representation of the Crucifixion.
The reason why the latter two are both on the same side though is curious. More normally they would be on either side of the Cross, and the figure balancing out Ecclesia would be Synagoga.
In England the two of them - Ecclesia on one side of the Cross and Synagoga on the other - can apparently still be seen - albeit mutilated - in the Cathedrals of Rochester, Lincoln, Salisbury, and Winchester.
