Box Lid with a Tournament
Box Lid with a Tournament - Francja - 1340-50 - Two knights are jousting in front of a grandstand, in which a king, queen, and two courtiers appear behind a draped railing. Two heralds are on horseback at the left; three spectators stand at the right. The knights wear chain mail with plate leg armor and great helms. Both helmets have crests, and the knights are defended with ailettes on their shoulders and shields. The knights' horses are caparisoned.
