"A skimmington procession : on a sorry-looking horse a man and woman sit astride, back to back; the woman, richly dressed, sits in front, her skirts pushed back to show breeches. In her right. hand is a pistol, in her left. a sword. The man holds a distaff. The procession is headed by a man (r.) holding aloft on a pole a petticoat and a pair of horns. Behind him walks a man beating a drum. Behind the horse is a woman carrying a broom over her shoulder and a woman blowing a horn. A spectator points and jeers, another walks with folded arms."--British Museum online catalogue
