Tablecloth with scenes from the Trojan War

Linen damask tablecloth with scenes from the Trojan War. Central field: a symmetrically tripled pattern shows six scenes: 1 Struggle between the Greeks and the Trojans. In the center and foreground fallen soldiers, above whom from left and right armored and helmeted warriors on horseback, with lowered lances, charge at each other. 2 The stratagem of the wooden horse. Next to the gate the Trojans are themselves busy breaking a breach in the wall. 3 The abduction of Helen. In the center stands Helen with raised arms. She is crowned and dressed in a drum-vertugadin, narrow sleeves with puffs at the shoulders and a small, high pleated collar closed against the chin. She is seized by a warrior, behind whom another with rondas and raised sword. 4 The abduction of Helen. In a galley, whose prow is decorated with a dragon's head and a winged female body, Helen is seated, guarded by four soldiers. To the side a round temple with a goddess. Under the waves: RAPTUS HELENA. 5 The Greek encampment.
