Abstract: In the upper image, two dwarf hunchbacks, a woman, and a man, walk from left to right, pointing towards the right with their left hands. In the lower image, two dwarf hunchbacks, dressed in a costume resembling that of the 16th century, count coins spread on a block between them. The hunchback on the left leans over the the block and appears to be ready to scoop the coins while his companion on the right is pointing to one of the heaps with his right hand, his left arm raised. He has a dagger attached to his belt
