Visual Description

A fully armoured knight sits astride a strong brown horse, facing forward. A fair-haired woman rides behind him, clutching a small child to her chest, while several small round disks or coins appear to scatter above the knight's raised hand. The horse wears metal plates and a decorated harness with a purple motif, and the background is a flat pale yellow topped by a round golden emblem. The scene is quiet and still, with attention on the figures and the falling disks.
