In the upper image, two dwarf hunchbacks face each other in argument as the one on the left, while gesticulating with his left arm, holds in his right hand, hidden behind his back, a knife or a stick. His agitated opponent is pulling a sword from its sheath. In the lower image, a dwarf hunchback approaches from the left with a plate of food in his outstretched right arm. He presents it to an androgynous-looking figure standing behind a table and pointing to its surface. The latter raises a goblet above his head in a toast
