1533 A.D. | Five bell tents and one pavilion on left side of wood cut. Most if not all apexes are ball shaped with pole and flag. The only guy rope attachment visible is on the bell tent in the foreground and uses a two point attachment. The pavilion has got some roof ridge decoration while some of the bell tents show some roof and roof edge decoration. | Erhard Schoen. G.1120; Rö.118, Siege of Betulia, 1533, Berlin.
