The Scriptures mention that deacons tended tables in Acts 6 although not communion. It has been common practice among Baptists to have the deacons serve the element.

I liked it because of how its artwork and it was very well created. Saint John the Baptist was another one and it was made of wood and it seems very powerful and how it was presenting.
