Two knights in helm and plate armor on horseback fighting a duel with daggers in a tourney. Both knights have dropped their swords, and attack again with daggers, the one on the left parrying his opponent's swinging cut. Copied from a woodcut by Jost Amman in Ritterliche Reutter Kunst, 1584. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and Middle Ages, Vienna, 1802.
