Wow…there are so many cool little bit-lets in this image. I know that many of you have already seen this courtesy of the GRC list on Yahoo, but I thought I would post it in here for my own reference and to get any additional commentary from non-group members.
Execution platforms; Mining (I wonder if those angled cross braces are there for tensioning the frame that is holding up the excavations?):
Fun with animals: FISHING! ; Dancing bear and minstrel troupe (all wearing the same thing…?); Greyhounds (?) coursing deer.
It’s hard to tell, but I think the small balls that look like marbles are actually ‘markers’ for a game like lawn bowling or bocchi ball. Someone please let me know what the checkerboard table game is! I would love to have a set up like this at the next SRS event: Jakkolo(? – think German shuffle board, from what I am told).
Dance with some groping going on (and with a common woman in an all black dress). There are some other interesting examples of woman's clothing, such as long stockings, and a woman tumbler in‘pants’. Also, a dress/geld race (those hussies! *grin*).
