It's from the series "Famous scenes from the Caterpillar Cake Bible":

"But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger" - Matthew 14

P.S. A charger is a big plate for serving food off of

It says "in a charger" is that a typo or is a charger like one of those plates with the dome over it to keep the dish warm while being served?

I don't know to be honest. Newer translations use "on a platter" instead.
