Fantastic Combat:
At left, a nude figure wearing a conical hat rides a dragon with a serpent's tail. He throws a heavy object at a crowned female figure with the body of a cow (right). She appears to be hurling an object at him. Terret has suggested that the female figure represents Babylon fighting the champion of God.(Revelations XVII 4-5) Despiney identifies the scene with the Dragon of the Apocalypse.
