                                                                                      Picture
                                                                                      Two warriors on horseback are fighting each other.  The horse of one has fallen to the ground.  The combat is at its height.  From the solid mass of the group, single forms, a head, a leg, a tail, shoot out in all directions, giving the spectator the feeling of the deadly collision of hostile forces.  The best man will win.
