The city of Gibeon is sieged and rescued from the five
kings by Joshua and his knights. Details show:
1-an example of great
artistic detail by the artist ~ you can see the eyes of the knight through
the eyeslit of his Maciejowski Helm, 2
- another Maciejowski Helm ~ slight
coloration on the fleurs-de-lis of the eyeslit suggests eyeslit was
possibly made of bronze, 3 - classic
cruciform-style battle sword with round
pommel ~ this one appears to have a Ridge
instead of a fuller, 4 - same as detail #3,
5 -excellent view of the leather
strapping attached to the back of a heater-shield ~ used to keep from
losing the shield during battle and to keep it relatively in place for
protection, 6 -one style of arm-slits in a
surcoat ~ tight under the arms
like a t-shirt, 7 -another style of arm-slits in a
surcoat ~ open,
teardrop-style |
The five kings are found hiding in a cave and are publicly
dishonored. Details show: 1 -examples of a turned-back
cuff on
sleeves, 2 -more turned-back sleeve cuffs, 3
-chainmaille hauberk with an
attached coif which lies back onto the knight's back. |
