I think Dmitry means the architectural looking structure below the image of the stag scratching his ear. Fences for shooting driven game ?

I was considering the same thing as suggested by Fernando - the text is split in two columns of approximately equal size, as it would be in the following, or similar scenarios: On the sides of a blade with a wide fuller; On the sides of a blade with rhomboid-cross section; On the sides of a hexagonal, or similar, gun barrel.
Raf is right. This is what I'm wondering about. |

Raf, I agree with your sentiments; this is something hunting-related, perhaps a ditch with stakes...

From the Complete German Hunter 1724. A small shooting party firing from cover.
Even Von Fleming, the author was outraged by the slaughter. One wonders whether this flask might have been presented as a prize or momento of such an event. Hence the classical allusion to Actaeon the victorious hunter. Last edited by Raf; 31st March 2023 at 11:37 AM. Reason: added image |
