Six men in tunics and pants engaged in a sword fight, one falling
Detailed Description
Six men are engaged in a struggle on a yellow ground. The central action unfolds against a plain yellow background, framed by a thin green border, a wider reddish-brown border, and a narrow yellow outer border. Above the yellow ground, a wavy black line separates it from a light blue sky with three small black bird-like shapes. In the center, a man in a blue tunic and white pants is falling backward, his arms outstretched. His dark hair is being pulled by a man in a red tunic and white pants, who stands over him with a sword raised high in his right hand. Another sword lies on the ground near the falling man's feet. To the left, a third man in a red tunic and purple pants holds a sword above his head with his right hand and a round, dark shield with a central design in his left, directed towards the falling man. Behind him, a man in a white tunic and green pants reaches forward with both hands towards the falling man. To the right of the central struggle, two men stand. One man, in a purple tunic and white pants, holds a long, thin spear or staff vertically in his right hand. Next to him, a man in a yellow tunic and white pants holds a similar long weapon. All figures have dark hair and mustaches, and wear turbans or caps. The ground is mostly clear, with a round shield and two swords visible on the yellow surface.
