Dragon Slaying in Egypt poet Title: Redlaw by the FireplaceAbout this work of art About this piece In ancient Egypt, cunning hunters devised a clever plan to defeat the fearsome dragons. They lured the beasts onto a magical cloth inscribed with a powerful spell.

In the background on the left, one of the dragons can be seen attacking an elephant. This print includes a Latin inscription
