his belly.
 His hands are likened to rings set with beryl. The ring is the emblem of authority (Gen. 41:42; Esther 3:10), and the token of love (Luke 15:22). (Canticle 4: The Restoration of Love by H. Smith)
 His belly, or body, is likened to bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. The whiteness and smoothness of the ivory may indicate the perfection of Christ without blemish or spot, and the sapphires the preciousness of Christ. Peter presents this twofold view of Christ when in one place he speaks of Him as "without blemish and without spot." (Canticle 4: The Restoration of Love by H. Smith)
