One knight…
…faces another.

A fuller Habsburg coat of arms.
A painting of a girl with Ambras Syndrome. For more on the phenomenon, see Merry Wiesner-Hanks, The Marvelous Hairy Girls: The Gonzales Sisters and their Worlds (2009).
The hem of a robe of a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Note the fleece and flint-and-steel devices.
