| Reverse description | Detailed reproduction of scene 52 from the Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the fall of Leofwine and Gyrth, brothers of King Harold, rendered in the characteristic stylised medieval embroidery style of the original tapestry. The scene shows armed warriors in combat, faithfully recreating the linear figural composition and decorative borders of the eleventh-century textile. The imagery fills the rectangular field, evoking the narrative sequence of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. |
