One light coloured bell tent, ball apex, two horizontal lines define the valance, along the bottom of the valance is a series of scalloping with central dots, inside the tent there are what appears to be two poles. Similar to “Louis the Pious driving away his son Pepin I, King of Aquitane. Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, FR 2813, fol. 140v, ‘Grandes Chroniques de France’, France, Paris, 14th century.” |
