Figure descriptions
A crowd of men engage in a battle. The men all have thick, dark beards; they wear
long, flowing robes and headscarves. Most
of them hold swords and axes in the air. One man is prominent in the scene. He stands
slightly off-center and holds a large, curved
sword out in front of his body. He appears to be challenging a man who stands in the
foreground. Other men surround the man with the
large, curved sword, and lean in close to him. A man at the right side of the illustration
holds a small dagger to this man’s face.
The man in the foreground stands with his back turned to the viewer, facing the man
with the large, curved sword. He grabs his beard
with one hand and holds the other hand up in the air. A figure behind him uses a long
pole to suspend a large, circular plate above
his head. It seems to be shading him from the sun. Corpses lie on the ground. Full-page
illustration contained within a single-ruled
border.
