Figure descriptions
Scene from the Battle of Gilboa. King Saul lies wounded on the ground adjacent to
the ongoing battle. A bloodied sword lies on
the ground in front of him and there is a rock face with a climbing vine at his back.
An archer weeps at the king’s side while
leaning on his bow. King Saul points towards the archer. Behind the two central figures,
two armies meet on foot and on horseback,
brandishing their spears in the air. A man charges on horseback, ducking behind a
shield and raising an axe above his head. A person
lies on the ground having been expelled from their crashed chariot. Mountains stand
in the background beyond the battle scene. 3/4
page contained within a single-ruled border. The top edge of the frame is rounded
and the bottom corners are squared.
